Breitfuss Glacier

Glaciers and Ice Formations

Breitfuss Glacier is a glacier 10 nautical miles (19 kilometers) long on the east coast of Graham Land, Antarctica, flowing southeast from the Avery Plateau into Mill Inlet west of Cape Chavanne, reaching an elevation of 343 meters (1,125 feet) near its highest point. It was charted by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey and photographed by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition in 1947, and is named for Leonid Breitfuss, a German polar explorer, historian, and author of numerous polar bibliographies.
