Nordenskjöld Glacier, Large glacier system in Cumberland East Bay, South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands.
The Nordenskjöld Glacier extends northward, terminating at Cumberland East Bay with a massive ice wall meeting the Southern Ocean waters.
The Swedish Antarctic Expedition conducted the first detailed mapping of the glacier during their scientific investigations of South Georgia in the early 1900s.
Scientists regularly monitor this glacier to gather data about climate patterns and environmental changes affecting the South Atlantic region.
Expedition vessels approach the glacier between November and March, when weather conditions permit observation of the terminal ice face.
The glacier reveals geological layers and sediment deposits through its movement, providing researchers with information about Earth's past climate conditions.
