Heaney Glacier
Heaney Glacier is a glacier, 4 nautical miles long, which lies close northwest of Cook Glacier. It flows north-east and then east toward St Andrews Bay on the north coast of South Georgia.
The glacier was surveyed by the South Georgia Survey, 1951–52, and named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for John B. Heaney, a surveyor with that expedition.
Landsat ETM satellite imagery 2003 showed that the glacier had retreated inland.
