The Horntvedt Glacier ( Norwegian Horntvedtbreen ) is a small glacier on the north coast of the sub-Antarctic Bouvet Island . It flows into the South Atlantic immediately east of Cape Circoncision .
Participants in the Valdivia expedition (1898–1899) led by the German zoologist Carl Chun mapped it. A new mapping was carried out in December 1927 during the Norvegia research voyage under Captain Harald Horntvedt (1879–1946), whose name the glacier now bears.
