Esmark Glacier

Esmark Glacier is a glacier flowing into the west part of Jossac Bight on the south coast of South Georgia. It was named by the Norwegian expedition under Olaf Holtedahl, 1927–28, probably for Jens Esmark, professor of mineralogy at the University of Kristiania (Oslo), Norway.[1] To the northwest is Mount Cunningham.
