The Brøgger Glacier is an 11 km long glacier in southern South Georgia . It flows west to the southeast section of Undine South Harbor .
The name of the glacier can be found for the first time on maps by the Norwegian geologist Olaf Holtedahl , who explored South Georgia in 1928. It is probably named after the Norwegian geologist and mineralogist Waldemar Christofer Brøgger (1851–1940).
