Eureka Glacier (69°44′S 68°45′W / 69.733°S 68.750°W) is a broad, gently sloping glacier, 18 nautical miles (33 km) long and 17 nautical miles (31 km) wide at its mouth, which flows westward from the west side of Palmer Land into George VI Sound. It is bounded on its north side by the nunataks south of Mount Edgell, on its south side by the Traverse Mountains and Terminus Nunatak, and at its head Prospect Glacier provides a route to the Wordie Ice Shelf. It was first surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under John Rymill and resurveyed in 1948 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey. The name, from the ancient Greek word eureka, expresses the triumph of discovery and arose because the BGLE sledge party found their way to George VI Sound via this glacier in 193

  • Il ghiacciaio Eureka (in inglese Eureka Glacier) è un ghiacciaio lungo 33,2 km e largo 31,5, situato sulla costa di Rymill, nella parte occidentale della Terra di Palmer, in Antartide. Il ghiacciaio, il cui punto più alto si trova 479 m s.l.m., fluisce in direzione ovest fino ad entrare nel canale di Giorgio VI. Il ghiacciaio ha costituito un importante passaggio con il quale raggiungere la piattaforma glaciale Wordie, finché quest'ultima non si è disintegrata all'inizio del 2009. (it)
  • Eureka Glacier är en glaciär i Antarktis. Den ligger i Västantarktis. Argentina, Chile och Storbritannien gör anspråk på området. Eureka Glacier ligger 479 meter över havet. Terrängen runt Eureka Glacier är lite kuperad. Den högsta punkten i närheten är McHugo Peak, 1 250 meter över havet, 15,2 kilometer söder om Eureka Glacier. Trakten är obefolkad.

  • Der Eureka-Gletscher ist ein rund 29 km langer Gletscher mit moderater Hangneigung an der Rymill-Küste des Palmerlands auf der Antarktischen Halbinsel. An der Mündung in den George-VI-Sund ist er 27 km breit. Er wird an seiner Nordflanke durch die südlich des Mount Edgell gelegenen Nunatakker und auf seiner Südflanke durch die Traverse Mountains sowie den Terminus-Nunatak begrenzt. Über den Prospect-Gletscher besteht zudem eine Verbindung zum Wordie-Schelfeis. Eine erste Vermessung des Gebiets wurde 1936 von Teilnehmern der British Graham Land Expedition (1934–1937) unter der Leitung des australischen Polarforschers John Rymill sowie erneut im Jahr 1948 durch den Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey vorgenommen. Die Namensgebung ist angelehnt an den Archimedes’ beigemessenen Ausspruch „Heureka“ (deutsch: „Ich habe [es] gefunden“) und sollte der Genugtuung der Hundeschlittenmannschaft der British Graham Land Expedition Ausdruck verleihen, über diesen Gletscher 1936 erfolgreich einen Weg zum George-VI-Sund gefunden zu haben.
