Hindle Glacier
Hindle Glacier is a glacier six miles long long, flowing north from the vicinity of Mount Paterson into Royal Bay on the north coast of South Georgia.
The glacier was surveyed by the South Georgia Survey in 1951–52. The name "Bruce Glacier" was used unofficially by the British South Georgia Expedition, 1954–55, after Dr William Spiers Bruce (1867-1921), Leader of the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition, but a number of Antarctic features were already named for Dr Bruce and so the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee recommended in 1957 that the glacier be named for Dr Edward Hindle, a British zoologist who, as Honorary Secretary of the Royal Geographical Society, was of great assistance to the South Georgia Survey expeditions.[1]
