The Rotunda Glacier (from English rotunda , ' round building ' ) is a glacier in East Antarctic Victoria Land . In the Royal Society Range, it flows north between Ugolini Peak and La Count Mountain to the Ferrar Glacier .
His name appears for the first time in the report Tephra in Glacier Ice (English for pyroclastic sediment in the glacier ice ) by the New Zealand glaciologists Harry Keys, Peter Anderton and Phil Kyle, who worked twice in the area of the glacier between 1973 and 1975. The model for the naming was the Rotunda , a 2410 m high witness mountain on the western flank of the glacier.
