The Sayce Glacier is a glacier on the Danco Coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows into the Bahía Wilson , a side bay of the Bay of Flanders , immediately north of Pelletan Point .
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 it in 1960 after the British photography pioneer Benjamin Jones Sayce (1839–1895), who in 1864 together with William Blanchard Bolton (1848–1889) had developed the silver bromide emulsion process for collodion dry plate photography .
