The Suess Glacier is a small glacier of the Transantarctic Mountains in Victoria Land to the south of the Antarctic. It branches off at about 1,800 meters above sea level on the north extending Newallgletscher in a southerly direction and flows parallel to the Canada and the Lacroixgletscher in the Taylor Valley, where he limited the Lake Chad to the west. Farther east, we find the Hoaresee. Between Suess Glacier and Lacroixgletscher is the 1,882 meter high Matterhorn, not to be confused with the Matterhorn in the Valais Alps, and the so-called mummy pond.
