Charity Glacier (
The glacier was named by the UK Antarctic Place-names Committee in 1958 after the brig Charity (Capt. ), one of a fleet of American sealers from New York which visited the South Shetland Islands in 1820–21, operating mainly from Yankee Harbor, Greenwich Island. The Charity also visited the islands the following season.
