Neumayer Glacier
Neumayer Glacier is a glacier, 8 nautical miles long and 2 nautical miles wide, which flows east along the north flank of the Allardyce Range to the west side of the head of Cumberland West Bay, South Georgia. It was charted by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition under Otto Nordenskiöld, 1901–04, and named for Georg von Neumayer.
Between 2005 and 2009, the glacier retreated half a mile.[1]
