Belgica Glacier


Belgica Glacier is a glacier long, flowing into Trooz Glacier to the east of Lancaster Hill on Kiev Peninsula, on the west coast of Graham Land. It was first charted by the British Graham Land Expedition under John Rymill, 1934–37, and named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1959 after the RV Belgica, the ship of the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Gerlache which explored this area in 1897–99.
