Schweitzer Glacier

Glaciers and Ice Formations

Schweitzer Glacier drains westward along the north side of the Littlewood Nunataks into Vahsel Bay, Antarctica, joined in its lower portion by the west-northwest-trending Lerchenfeld Glacier. It was discovered by the German Antarctic Expedition of 1911-1912 under Wilhelm Filchner, who named it for Major Schweitzer, first president of the German Antarctic Expedition Society.
