The Entusiastbreen (Norwegian for enthusiasm glacier , English Entuziasty Glacier , Russian Ледник Энтузиастов Lednik Entussiastow ) is a sweeping glacier in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . It flows in a mainly northerly direction to the Lazarev Ice Shelf . It is fed by ice masses from the Hoelfjella and from the north-eastern end of the Wohlthat massif .
The lower reaches of the glacier and that of the neighboring Mushketov Glacier were explored by Soviet scientists, who also gave the name, in 1961. The Russian name was later transferred to the English and Norwegian forms.
