Hess Glacier

Hess Glacier (67°13′S 65°5′W) is a glacier 5 nautical miles (9.3 km; 5.8 mi) long, flowing east-northeast between steep rock walls to its terminus 10 nautical miles (19 km; 12 mi) southwest of Monnier Point, on the east coast of Graham Land, Antarctica. It was charted in 1947 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, who named it for Hans Hess, a German glaciologist.[1]
