The Szielasko Ice Cap is an ice cap on South Georgia . On the Barff Peninsula , it covers the highlands immediately south of Godthul Bay .
The South Georgia Survey mapped them during its 1951-1957 survey of South Georgia. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1958 after the German doctor and zoologist Emil Alfred Szielasko (1864–1928), whose ship, the Norwegian whaler SS Fridtjof Nansen under Captain Kristian Anderssen, after a collision with the Nansen reef on 10.
