Lewald Glacier
Lewald Glacier is a small glacier 3 nautical miles west of Cape Vahsel, flowing northward to the coast at the east end of South Georgia. It was named by the Second German Antarctic Expedition, 1911–12, under Wilhelm Filchner, for Theodor Lewald, Ministerialdirektor im Reichsamt des Innern, Germany, who took an active interest in the expedition.[1]
Landsat ETM+ satellite imagery 2002 showed that the glacier had undergone considerable retreat.
