Arctowski Ice Cap

Arctowski Ice Cap is the main axial ice dome of King George Island, the largest of the South Shetland Islands in the British Antarctic Territory.

This ice cap is named after Professor Henryk Arctowski, who gives his name to a number of features in the Territory. Professor Arctowski (1871-1958) was an American meteorologist of Polish birth who served on the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, and was the author of many publications on Antarctic meteorology.

It spreads over the island's Kraków Peninsula.
