The Keilhau Glacier is an 8 km long glacier that flows on the south coast of South Georgia in a west to south-west direction from the Kohl Plateau to Jossac Bight .
The Norwegian geologist Olaf Holtedahl mapped it during his visit to South Georgia between 1927 and 1928. He named it after his compatriot Baltazar Mathias Keilhau (1797-1858), geologist and professor of mineralogy at Christiania University .
