Dead End Glacier

Dead End Glacier

Dead End Glacier (54°47′S 35°56′W / 54.783°S 35.933°W / -54.783; -35.933) is a glacier flowing east from the south end of the Salvesen Range of South Georgia into the west side of Salomon Glacier. Surveyed by the SGS in the period 1951-57, and so named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) because there is no route for sledging parties from the head of this glacier to the north shore of Drygalski Fjord.
