The Friederichsen Glacier is an 11 km long glacier on the Foyn coast of Graham Land in the north of the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows east to Cabinet Inlet , which it reaches immediately north of Mount Hulth .
The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) mapped it using aerial photographs taken by the American Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–1948) from 1947. A survey was carried out between 1963 and 1965. The FIDS named the glacier in 1971 after the German cartographer Ludwig Friederichsen (1841-1915), who in 1895 published a map of the Antarctic Peninsula and the South Shetland Islands .
