Foggydog Glacier

Foggydog Glacier

Foggydog Glacier is a glacier between Blank Peaks and Mount Rich in the Brown Hills of Antarctica. Mapped by the Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition (1962-63) and so named because in plan the glacier is shaped like the head and neck of a dog, with a moraine suggesting a collar and a glacial lake in the position of the ears. Fog accumulates regularly over the glacier.
