Rudolph Glacier (Antarctica)

Rudolph Glacier is a glacier flowing into Andvord Bay south of Moser Glacier, on the west coast of Graham Land. Charted by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Gerlache, 1897-99. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1960 for Paul Rudolph, German mathematical optician who designed the first anastigmatic camera lens, introduced by Zeiss in 1889, and the "Tessar" lens, introduced by Zeiss in 1902.
