Bucher Glacier

Bucher Glacier (67°39′S 66°50′W) is a small glacier draining the west slopes of Rudozem Heights and flowing to Bourgeois Fjord just north of Bottrill Head on the German Peninsula, Fallières Coast on the west side of Graham Land, Antarctica. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1958 for Edwin Bucher, Swiss glaciologist and author of many publications on snow and avalanches.
