Brøgger Glacier
Brøgger Glacier is a glacier 7 nautical miles long, flowing west into the southern part of Undine South Harbour on the south coast of South Georgia.
The name 'Brøgger' appears on a chart by Professor Olaf Holtedahl, the Norwegian geologist who investigated South Georgia in 1928, and is probably for Professor Waldemar Brøgger, a Norwegian geologist and mineralogist, Professor of Mineralogy and Geology, University of Kristiania, 1890-1917 and member of the Norwegian Parliament, 1900–09.[1]
