Daguerre Glacier

Daguerre Glacier (65°7′S 63°25′W) is a glacier on Kiev Peninsula, Graham Land, which joins with Niepce Glacier and flows into Lauzanne Cove, Flandres Bay. It was shown on an Argentine government chart of 1954, and named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1960 for Louis Daguerre, a French painter and physicist who, with J.N. Niepce, invented the daguerreotype process of photography perfected in 1839.
