Narrative

El nombre corresponde al apellido de Antonio Huneeus Gana, Ministro de Relaciones Exteriores de la República de Chile, quien en 1906 envió al Congreso un proyecto de ley para financiar una expedición a la Antártica. Huneeus presidió la comisión organizadora que él mismo nombró. Desgraciadamente, el 16 de agosto de 1906 sobrevino el gran terremoto que asoló a Chile y la expedición se aplazó para otra oportunidad. Glaciar que se ubica al S de la península Eielson y que desemboca hacia el mar de Weddell, en la costa oriental de la península Tierra de O'Higgins.
