Goetel Glacier (62°4′S 58°19′W / 62.067°S 58.317°W / -62.067; -58.317) is a glacier flowing south between Ullmann Spur and the Precious Peaks into Martel Inlet, Admiralty Bay, on King George Island in the South Shetland Islands. It was named by the Polish Antarctic Expedition, 1980, after Professor Walery Goetel (1889–1972), a Polish geologist and conservationist.[1]
