The Charity Glacier is a glacier on the south coast of Livingston Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It's just north of Barnard Point .
The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1958 after the Brigg Charity under Captain Charles H. Barnard (1781-1840), which was part of the US seal-catching fleet, which operated between 1820 and 1821 in the waters around the South Shetland Islands.
