The Kayabreen ( Norwegian , Japanese 茅氷河 Kaya-hyōga ) is a glacier on the Prince Harald Coast of the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . It flows east of Flettehøgda in a northerly direction to Fletta , a side bay on the southwestern bank of Lützow-Holm-Bucht .

Norwegian cartographers carried out a rough mapping based on aerial photographs of the Lars Christensen expedition in 1936/37 . Japanese scientists specified this in 1957 and 1984 and named the glacier in 1989. It is named after Seiji Kaya (1898–1988), President of the Japanese Scientific Committee and supporter of Japanese Antarctic research in the 1950s. Scientists from the Norwegian Polar Institute translated the name into Norwegian in 1990.
