The Suárez Glacier (also known as the Petzval Glacier ) is a glacier on the Danco Coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows into Oscar Cove, a side bay of Paradise Harbor .
The Scottish geologist David Ferguson (1857–1936) made an initial mapping between 1913 and 1914. A new mapping was carried out by the Fifth Chilean Antarctic Expedition (1950–1951). It is named after Francisco Suárez V., as an operations officer on the Angamos transporter, a participant in this research trip . The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1960 after the Austrian Josef Maximilian Petzval (1807-1891), a pioneer of photography .
