Helland Glacier is a glacier 4 nautical miles long flowing south-west from Mount Paget, South Georgia's highest mountain, to Rocky Bay, on the south side of South Georgia.
The glacier was mapped by Olaf Holtedahl during his visit to South Georgia in 1927–28, and named by him for Amund Helland, a Norwegian mining geologist and glaciologist.[1]
