A glacier 4 mi S of Browns Glacier, flowing westward from Ingrid Christensen Coast into the central part of Ranvik Bay. Mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition (1936-37). Named by John H. Roscoe in a 1952 study of USN Operation Highjump aerial photography of this coast. The name alludes to the jumbled appearance of the terminal glacial flowage.
