Gutenberg Glacier

Glaciers and Ice Formations

Gutenberg Glacier is an eight-nautical-mile-long glacier in the northern Holyoake Range of the Churchill Mountains, Antarctica. It flows northwest between Mount Hubble and Mount Richter before entering Starshot Glacier. The glacier was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for German-born seismologist Beno Gutenberg, who directed the seismology laboratory at the California Institute of Technology in the 1930s and worked with Charles F. Richter to develop the Richter scale for measuring earthquake magnitude.
