Harmer Glacier
Harmer Glacier is a glacier 3 nautical miles long, flowing southwest from Starbuck Peak to the sea close north of Ranvik, on the south coast of South Georgia.
The glacier was surveyed by the South Georgia Survey in the period 1951–57, and named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Sir Sidney F. Harmer (1862-1950), a zoologist and Vice-Chairman of the "Discovery" Committee (1924-42), and author of numerous publications on whales and whaling.
