Glacier on the E coast of Alexander Island, 12 mi long and 4 mi wide, flowing E into George VI Sound to the S of Triton Point. First seen from the air by Lincoln Ellsworth on Nov. 23, 1935, and roughly mapped from photos obtained on that flight by W.L.G. Joerg. The mouth of the glacier was positioned in 1936 by the BGLE. Named by the UK-APC for the planet Neptune following a FIDS survey in 1949. The head of the glacier was mapped from air photos taken by the RARE, 1947-48, by Searle of the FIDS in 1960.
