The Reusch Glacier is a very small glacier on the Pennell Coast of the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It flows to Relay Bay , which it reaches immediately east of Islands Point .
Participants in the Southern Cross Expedition (1898–1900) led by the Norwegian polar explorer Carsten Egeberg Borchgrevink mapped it for the first time. Borchgrevink named the glacier after the Norwegian geologist Hans Henrik Reusch (1852–1922), then President of the Norwegian Geographical Society .
