Gotley Glacier, Glacier in Heard Island, Australia.
Gotley Glacier extends 5 nautical miles from the ice slopes of Big Ben mountain to the southwest side of Heard Island between Cape Arkona and Cape Labuan.
The Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions conducted the first survey of Gotley Glacier in 1948, naming it after meteorologist Aubrey V. Gotley.
Scientists monitoring this glacier collect data about glacial dynamics and climate change impacts in sub-Antarctic environments through specialized research expeditions.
Access to Gotley Glacier requires a two-week sea journey from Australia, with visits limited to approved research teams due to environmental protection measures.
The glacier has decreased in size along with other ice formations on Heard Island, losing approximately 11 percent of the total glacial area between 1947 and 1988.
