Schytt Glacier

Glaciers and Ice Formations

Schytt Glacier is a broad Antarctic glacier about 60 miles long, flowing north between the Giaever and Ahlmann Ridges in Queen Maud Land to the Jelbart Ice Shelf. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and aerial photographs taken by the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition between 1949 and 1952, and it is named for Valter Schytt, the expedition's second in command and glaciologist.
