Charpentierbreen is a glacier in Nathorst Land at Spitsbergen, Svalbard. It is named after Swiss geologist Jean de Charpentier. The glacier has a length of about four kilometers, and is located within the mountain range of Törnbohmfjella, flowing eastwards from the peak of Såta down to the valley of Davisdalen.[1] The mountain of Venetzhumpen separates Charpentierbreen from Venetzbreen.[2]
