It was first charted by the British Antarctic Expedition, 1898–1900, under Carsten. E. Borchgrevink, who named it for Colonel Haffner, Director of the Government Survey of Norway. This glacier lies situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.[1]
