Charity Glacier
Charity Glacier () is a glacier on Rozhen Peninsula, Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica draining the southwest slopes of St. Methodius Peak in Tangra Mountains, and flowing west-southwestwards into False Bay north of Barnard Point, between Zagore Beach and Arkutino Beach.
The glacier was named by the UK Antarctic Place-names Committee in 1958 after the brig "Charity" (Capt. Charles H. Barnard), one of a fleet of American sealers from New York which visited the South Shetland Islands
Eocene–Oligocene extinction event). The term Late Cenozoic Ice Age is used to include this early phase.
During this last glacial period there were alternating episodes of glacier advance and retreat. Within the last glacial period the Last Glacial Maximum was approximately 22,000 years ago. While the general pattern of global cooling and glacier advance was similar, local differences in the development of glacier advance and retreat make it difficult to compare the details from continent to continent (see picture of ice core data below for differences).
