Hübnerbreen is a glacier at Barentsøya, Svalbard. It is located at the eastern part of the island, and is named after mining engineer and Arctic explorer Adolf Hübner.[1] The mountain of Buklerimen separates Hübnerbreen from Freemanbreen.[2] The coastal plain of Ritterflya, at the east coast of Barentsøya, is formed by deposits from Hübnerbreen and the nearby Reymondbreen.[3]
