Domeyko Glacier is a glacier flowing southeast into Mackellar Inlet, Admiralty Bay, King George Island, in the South Shetland Islands. It was named by the Polish Antarctic Expedition, 1980, after Ignacy Domeyko, a Polish-born explorer of the Andes and sometime Professor of Chemistry and Mineralogy, and Rector, of the University of Chile, Santiago. ^[1] The Cordillera Domeyko, mountain range of the Andes, is also named for the explorer.
