Narrative

Glacier, 2 mi wide and 10 mi long, flowing SW from the central plateau of Graham Land toward the head of Lallemand Fjord. Its mouth lies between the mouths of Haefeli and Klebelsberg Glaciers, the three glaciers merging with Sharp Glacier where the latter enters the fjord. First surveyed from the plateau in 1946-47 by the FIDS, and named by them for Sebastian Finsterwalder and his son, Richard Finsterwalder, German glaciologists.
