Brunonia Glacier
'Brunonia Glacier is a glacier which flows east to the head of Sunset Fjord in the Bay of Isles, South Georgia.
The glacier was charted in 1912–13 by American ornithologist and naturalist Robert Cushman Murphy, who visited South Georgia aboard the sealing brig Daisy of New Bedford, Massachusetts under Captain Benjamin D. Cleveland. Murphy named the glacier for his alma mater, Brown University, "Brunonia" being a Latinized form of its name.[1]
