Freemanbreen

Freemanbreen is a glacier on Barentsøya, Svalbard. It is an offshoot of Barentsjøkulen, reaching down to the sea in the southern direction, into Freemansundet. The glacier is named after British Alderman Ralph Freeman.[1][2] The mountain of Buklerimen separates Freemanbreen from the glacier of Hübnerbreen.[3]
