flowing SW into Börgen Bay, SE Anvers Island, was roughly charted by BeAE in February 1898; further charted by DI in 1927 and so named in association with Mount William (q.v.), possible after the usage of whalers (BA chart 3213, 14.i.1929; APC, 1955, p.22; BA chart 3572, 29.xi.1974; BAS 250P sheet SQ 19-20/3, 1-DOS 1979). The glacier was further surveyed from a distance by FIDS from "Port Lockroy" in 1944. Glaciar Guillermo [translation of English name] (Vila Labra, 1947, p.91). Ventisquero Guillermo (Chile. DNH chart LI, 1947). Glaciar William (Argentina. MM chart 106, 1949; Chile. IHA, 1974, p.302). Glaciar Tolosa, so called by AAE after a sailor of the Argentine Marine Infantry who was killed at the battle of Martín Garciá in March 1814 (Argentina. MM, 1953, p.268; Pierrou, 1970, p.690). The glacier was resurveyed by FIDS from "Arthur Harbour" in November 1955.

Glacier flowing S from the interior highlands of Anvers Island to the head of Borgen Bay on the SE coast of the island, in the Palmer Archipelago. Discovered by the BelgAE, 1897-99, under Gerlache, and charted by them simply as a "grand glacier." The name William Glacier first appears on a chart based upon a 1927 survey by DI personnel on the Discovery.

Este glaciar fue descubierto por la Expedición Belga realizada entre los años 1897-1899, bajo la dirección del teniente Adrien de Gerlache y cartografiado por ellos, simplemente como un "Gran Glaciar". El nombre apareció primero en una carta basada en un levantamiento del año 1927 del personal del Discovery.
