flowing SE into Larsen Ice Shelf, SW of Cape Worsley, Nordenskjöld Coast, was roughly mapped as a bay by SwAE in 1902 and called Von Drygalski Bucht (Nordenskjöld and others, 1904b, Vol. 2, first end map), Von Drygalskis Bukt (Nordenskjöld and others, 1904a, Del. 1, end map) or Golfe von Drygalski (Nordenskjöld and others, 1904c, map p.232-33), after Prof. Erich Dagobert von Drygalski (1865-1949), German geographer and polar explorer; Leader of GAE, 1901-03. Bahía de Drygalskis (Nordenskjöld and others, 1904-05, Tomo 1, end map). Drygalski Baai (Ruys, 1905, map following p.88). Von Drygalski Bay (Nordenskjöld and others, 1905, map facing p.316). Bahía Drigalski (Riso Patron S., 1908, end map). Drygalski Bucht (Nordenskjöld, 1911b, Karte 1). Drygalski Bay (BA chart 3205, 31.x.1921). Drygalski B. (HA chart, 1928). On his flight of 20 December 1928 Wilkins re-identified the feature as a "bay" (Wilkins, 1929, p.364). Drygalski Bai (Drygalski, 1930, p.327). Drygalskibukten (Aagaard, 1930, p.275). Drygalskibukta (Aagaard, 1944, p.99). Bahía Drygalski (Argentina. IGM map, 1946). The feature was surveyed by FIDS from "Hope Bay" in November 1947 and found to be a glacier. Drygalski Glacier (APC, 1955, p.9; BA chart 3570, 21.ix.1957; BAS 250 sheet SQ 19-20/4, 1-DOS 1974). Glaciar Drygalski (Argentina. MM, 1958b, p.188; Pierrou, 1970, p.324; Chile. IHA, 1974, p.106). Glaciar Drygalsky [sic] (Chile. IH chart 58, 1971). [Drygalski Fjord, South Georgia, is also named after Prof. E. D. von Drygalski (Hattersley-Smith, 1980b, p.35).]

Broad glacier, 18 mi long, which flows SE from Herbert Plateau through a rectangular re-entrant to a point immediately N of Sentinel Nunatak on the E coast of Graham Land. Discovered in 1902 by the SwedAE, under Nordenskjold, and named Drygalski Bay after Prof. Erich von Drygalski. The feature was determined to be a glacier by the FIDS in 1947.

Fue descubierto en 1902 por la Expedición Antártica Sueca al mando del comandante Otto Nordenskjöld y llamada bahía Drygalski, denominada así por el Dr. Erich von Drygalski geofísico que dedicó su vida a las exploraciones de las regiones polares. Lo determinó como glaciar el FIDS en 1947. Glaciar de aproximadamente 15 millas de largo y 8 millas de ancho que fluye en una dirección ESE, en una forma de ángulo recto a 15 millas al N del cabo Fairweather en la costa E de la península Tierra de O'Higgins.
