Bornmann Glacier

Bornmann Glacier (72°20′S 170°13′E) is a glacier flowing from the west side of Hallett Peninsula 1 nautical mile (2 km) south of Seabee Hook and forming a short, floating ice tongue on the shore of Edisto Inlet. It was named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition, 1957–58, for Lieutenant Robert C. Bornmann, MC, U.S. Navy, surgeon and leader of the U.S. Navy Operation Deep Freeze party at Hallett Station in 1958.[1]
