Egeberg Glacier

Egeberg Glacier is a small glacier between Scott Keltie Glacier and Dugdale Glacier, flowing into the west side of Robertson Bay, Victoria Land, Antarctica. This geographical feature was first charted by the British Antarctic Expedition 1898–1900, under C.E. Borchgrevink, who named it for Consul Westye Egeberg of Christiania (now Oslo), Norway.[1] The glacier lies situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.
