South America Glacier (77°49′S 161°47′E) is a small glacier near the southwest corner of the Kukri Hills in Victoria Land. The ice hangs down a cliff 2,000 m high, and takes a form similar to the continent for which it is named. Named by the Western Journey Party, led by Taylor, of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910-13.
