The Goodwin Glacier is a glacier on the Danco Coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows south of Pelletan Point into Bahía Pelletan , a side bay of the Bay of Flanders .
Participants in the Belgica expedition (1897–1899) led by the Belgian polar explorer Adrien de Gerlache de Gomery mapped it. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1960 after the American photography pioneer Hannibal Goodwin (1822–1900), the inventor of rolled nitrocellulose film in 1887.
