The Seller Glacier is a clearly delimited, approximately 32 km long and up to 6.5 km wide glacier on the Fallières coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows west to the Forster Piedmont Glacier , which it reaches north of Flinders Peak .
Participants in the British Graham Land Expedition (1934–1937) made a first rough mapping . The survey of the glacier took place in 1958 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey . The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named the glacier in 1962 after the English hydrograph and cartographer John Seller (≈1630–1697), who published the first standard work on navigation in England in 1671 and who improved the function of magnetic compasses .
