Arena Glacier

Arena Glacier is a glacier 3 nautical miles (6 km) long, flowing northeast from Mount Taylor into Hope Bay 2 nautical miles (4 km) southwest of Sheppard Point, at the extremity of the Trinity Peninsula. It was mapped in 1948 and 1955 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey and so named by them because the flat ice floor of the glacier's upper half, surrounded by the steep slopes of Twin Peaks, Mount Taylor and Blade Ridge, resembles an arena.
