The Glacier Col (English for glacier saddle ) is a previously glaciated mountain pass on South Georgia in the South Atlantic . It lies between the northern end of Lyell Lake and Middle Hamberg Lake .
For the scientists stationed at King Edward Point , the saddle was a preferred ski area and the name had long been established. Despite the almost complete disappearance of the glacier ice by 2006, the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee recognized this designation in 2007.
