54°25′S 3°21′E / 54.417°S 3.350°E / -54.417; 3.350Coordinates: 54°25′S 3°21′E / 54.417°S 3.350°E / -54.417; 3.350) is a small glacier flowing to the north coast of the island of Bouvetøya. It is situated immediately east of Cape Circoncision. It was first charted in 1898 by a German expedition under Carl Chun, and recharted in December 1927 by a Norwegian expedition which named it for (1879-1946), the captain of the expedition ship Norvegia.[1][2] [3]
