The Talbot Glacier is a glacier on the Danco coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows north to the Etienne Fjord , a tributary of the Bay of Flanders .
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 William Henry Fox Talbot (1800–1877), the inventor of the negative-positive process .
