Weddell Glacier
Weddell Glacier is a glacier two nautical miles long on the north side of South Georgia, flowing north into Beaufoy Cove on the south side of Royal Bay between Will Point and Cape Charlotte.
The glacier was first mapped by the German group of the International Polar Year Investigations, 1882–83, and named for James Weddell, Master, Royal Navy, who as a sealing captain visited South Georgia in 1823.[1]
