Buxton Glacier is a glacier flowing northeast between Heaney Glacier and Cook Glacier, on the north coast of the island of South Georgia, immediately south of Mount Skittle. The terminus of Buxton Glacier is located at Saint Andrews Bay.[1] Buxton Glacier is close to Ross Glacier, which is leaving a gravel beach in the wake of its retreat.
