Kannheiser Glacier

Kannheiser Glacier is a glacier about 4 nautical miles long on Thurston Island, Antarctica, lying 12 nautical miles east-southeast of Cape Flying Fish and flowing south into the Abbot Ice Shelf. It was first delineated from air photographs taken by the United States Navy in December 1946, and was named by the United States Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Lieutenant Commander William Kannheiser, a United States Navy helicopter pilot aboard the USS Glacier who explored and photographed new features of Thurston Island in February 1960.
