The Uspallata Glacier ( Spanish Glaciar Uspallata ) is a glacier on the Fallières coast of Graham Land in the north of the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows from a saddle between Walton Peak and Mount Rhamnus in a first westerly, then southwestern direction to Neny Bay , which it reaches on the west side of Mount Ramnus and Mount Nemesis .
Argentine scientists named it after the small town of Uspallata in the province of Mendoza . The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee translated this designation into English in 2006.
