Cardell Glacier

Location of Loubet Coast on the Antarctic Peninsula.

Cardell Glacier (66°25′S 65°32′W / 66.417°S 65.533°WCoordinates: 66°25′S 65°32′W / 66.417°S 65.533°W) is a glacier draining the north slopes of Roygos Ridge and flowing northwestwards into Darbel Bay between Shanty Point and Panther Cliff, on the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It was photographed by Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd in 1955–57, and mapped from these photos by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey. The glacier was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1959 for John D.M. Cardell, English ophthalmic surgeon, who evolved the first satisfactory snow goggle design combining adequate protection and ventilation with safety and sufficient visual field.
