Grace Glacier
Grace Glacier is a glacier which flows north into Ample Bay at the Bay of Isles, on the north coast of South Georgia, at the northernmost of the island. The glacier reaches the sea near the coastal flat known as Salisbury Plain.
This glacier was charted in 1912–13 by Robert Cushman Murphy, an American naturalist aboard the brig Daisy, who named it for his wife, Grace Emeline Murphy.
