Aagaard Glacier

Glaciers and Ice Formations

Aagaard Glacier, also known as Glaciar Alderete, is an 8-mile-long Antarctic glacier lying east of Gould Glacier and flowing south into Mill Inlet on the east coast of Graham Land. It was charted by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey and photographed from the air during the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition in December 1947, then named for Bjarne Aagaard, a Norwegian authority on Antarctic whaling and exploration.
