The Rudolph Glacier is a glacier on the Danco Coast of Graham Land in the north of the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows south of the Moser Glacier into 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 Paul Rudolph (1858-1935) who developed the first anastigmat for Zeiss in 1889 .
