Sjögren Glacier (-64.2333°N -59°W) is a glacier long in the south part of Trinity Peninsula, Antarctica.It flows southeast from Detroit Plateau to the south side of Mount Wild, where it enters Prince Gustav Channel.
The Sjögren Glacier is in Graham Land towards the southwest of the Trinity Peninsula, which forms the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula.It flows southeast from the Detroit Plateau to enter Prince Gustav Channel opposite Röhss Bay on James Ross Island.It is north of Mount Tucker and Longing Peninsula, and northeast of Larsen Inlet.Mount Hornsby looks over its western side.
The Prince Gustaf Channel was filled by an ice shelf until the late 1980s.Its main sources were the Sjögren Glacier and the Röhss Glacier, which flows from James Ross Island.The ice shelf began to gradually retreat in the late 1980s, and collapsed in January 1995.In the period before the collapse the ice shelf contained many rifts, crevasses and melt ponds.After the collapse the Röhss Glacier rapidly retreated by about between January 2001 and March 2009, and lost more than 70% of its area.Between 1996 and 2014 the glaciers flowing into Sjögren Inlet retreated by about .The rate of flow accelerated until 2007 in the Sjögren Glacier, and until 2004 in the Boydell Glacier.As of 2014 the rate of flow was still about twice the rate in 1996.
Sjögren Glacier was discovered in 1903 by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition (SwedAE) under Otto Nordenskjöld. He named it Hj. Sjögren Fiord after a patron of the expedition. The true nature of the feature was determined by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1945.
