Sunfix Glacier

Sunfix Glacier is a tributary glacier, 15 nautical miles long and 2 nautical miles wide, crawling east-northeastwards between Grimley Glacier and Lurabee Glacier into Casey Glacier, in northern Palmer Land, within the British Antarctic Territory.

The glacier was photographed from the air by Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition on 22 December 1947 and surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in November 1960.

The name derives from the important sun fix for latitude which was observed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey team at the head of this glacier; an area where cloud seldom allows such observation.
