Finsterwalder Glacier
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Finsterwalder Glacier () is a glacier, 2 miles (3.2 km) wide and 10 miles (16 km) long, flowing southwest from the central plateau of Graham Land toward the head of Lallemand Fjord. Its mouth lies between the mouths of Haefeli and Klebelsberg Glaciers, the three glaciers merging with Sharp Glacier where the latter enters the fjord. First surveyed from the plateau in 1946-47 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS), and named by them for Sebastian Finsterwalder and his son, Richard Finsterwalder, German glaciologists.
