The Moser Glacier is a glacier on the Danco coast of Graham Land in the north of the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows directly southeast of the Arago Glacier into Henryk Cove , a side bay of Andvord Bay .
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 the glacier in 1960 after the German physicist Ludwig Ferdinand Moser (1805-1880), who in 1844 developed a method for stereo photography .
