Seller Glacier

Seller Glacier is a well-defined glacier, 20 nautical miles long and 4 nautical miles wide flowing westward into Forster Ice Piedmont, on the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula, just north of Flinders Peak.

The glacier was roughly surveyed by British Graham Land Expedition in 1936–37, and resurveyed by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in December 1958.

The Seller Glacier was named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee after John Seller (about 1630-1698), an English hydrographer and compass maker who published the first sailing directions for England in 1671. He noted the variation of the compass, and gave rules for its determination.
