Hindle Glacier

Glaciers and Ice Formations

Hindle Glacier is a glacier about 6 miles (10 kilometers) long on the north coast of South Georgia, flowing north from Mount Paterson into Royal Bay. It was surveyed by the South Georgia Survey in 1951-52 and was informally known as Bruce Glacier before the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee renamed it in 1957 for Edward Hindle, a British zoologist who served as Honorary Secretary of the Royal Geographical Society and assisted the survey expeditions.
