The Bravo Glacier ( Spanish Glaciar Bravo ) is a glacier on the south coast of Greenwich Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It flows into Shopski Cove between Triangle Point and Glacier Bluff .
Participants of the 7th Chilean Antarctic Expedition (1952–1953) under the command of Alberto Kahn Wiegand named the glacier when surveying the neighboring Yankee Harbor . It is probably named after an officer of the ship Lientur on this research voyage .
