The Breitfuß Glacier is a 16 km long glacier on the Foyn coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows from the Avery Plateau in an easterly direction to Mill Inlet , which it reaches west of Cape Chavanne .
The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey mapped the glacier using aerial photographs taken during the American Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–1948) and named it after the German marine biologist and polar explorer Leonid Breitfuß (1864–1950).
