Koch Glacier
Koch Glacier is a glacier long immediately east of Jenner Glacier on the south side of Brabant Island, in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica. It drains the south slopes of Solvay Mountains and flows south-southwestwards into Chiriguano Bay southeast of Paprat Peak.
The glacier was first shown on an Argentine government chart in 1953, but not named. The glacier was photographed by Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd in 1956–57, and mapped from these photos in 1959. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Robert Koch, the pioneer German bacteriologist who discovered Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium responsible for most cases of tuberculosis.Maps
