Charity Glacier

Location of Rozhen Peninsula on Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands.

Charity Glacier from the entrance to False Bay, with Canetti Peak on the left.

Charity Glacier (62°44′S 60°20′W / 62.733°S 60.333°W / -62.733; -60.333) is a glacier lying north of Barnard Point on Rozhen Peninsula, Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-names Committee in 1958 after the brig Charity (Capt. Charles H. Barnard), one of a fleet of American sealers from New York which visited the South Shetland Islands in 1820–21, operating mainly from Yankee Harbor, Greenwich Island. The Charity also visited the islands the following season.
