The Barkow Glacier ( Russian Ледник Баркова Lednik Barkowa ) is a glacier in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . It flows in the Orvinfjella between the Dallmann Mountains and the central section of the Shcherbakow Mountains .
The first aerial photographs and a rough position determination were made during the German Antarctic Expedition in 1938/39 under the direction of polar explorer Alfred Ritscher . Norwegian cartographers carried out a mapping based on aerial photographs and measurements made by the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960). A new mapping was carried out during a Soviet Antarctic expedition that lasted from 1960 to 1961. It is named after the Soviet cartographer Alexander Sergejewitsch Barkow (1873–1953) from Lomonossow University in Moscow .
