The Sjögren Glacier is a 24 km long glacier in Grahamland on the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows in the southern part of the Trinity Peninsula from the Detroit Plateau in a south-easterly direction to the south side of Mount Wild , where it flows into the Prince Gustav Canal . Originally, the latter happened according to the measurements carried out from 1960 to 1961 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in the form of a floating glacier tongue , which no longer exists after an inventory by the British Antarctic Survey in February 1994.
Participants in the Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1901–1903) led by Otto Nordenskjöld discovered him. Nordenskjöld named him on the assumption that it was a fjord , as Hj. Sjögren Fiord after the Swedish geologist Hjalmar Sjögren (1856-1922) from Uppsala University , a supporter of the research trip . The real nature of the object was revealed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1945.
