Brogger Glacier

Brogger Glacier

The Brogger Glacier or Brögger Glacier [http://www.btinternet.com/~sa_sa/south_georgia/south_georgia.html] (coord|54|32|S|36|26|W|type:glacier) is a glacier 7 miles (11 km) long, flowing west into the south part of Undine South Harbour on the south coast of South Georgia. The name appears on a chart by Professor Olaf Holtedahl, Norwegian geologist who investigated South Georgia in 1928, and is probably for Professor Waldemar Brogger, Norwegian geologist and mineralogist, and member of the Norwegian Parliament, 1900-09.
