The Baker Glacier is a glacier in East Antarctic Victoria Land . In the Victory Mountains it flows to the Whitehall Glacier , which it reaches immediately north of Martin Hill .

The United States Geological Survey mapped it on the basis of its own measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy between 1960 and 1962. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it after the American biologist John R. Baker of Iowa State University , who lived in the Antarctic summer months worked at the Hallett station between 1967 and 1968 and between 1968 and 1969 .
