The Bertoglio Glacier is an 11 km long glacier on the Hillary Coast of the Antarctic Ross Dependency . It flows from the Conway Range in an easterly direction and flows into the Ross Ice Shelf between Cape Lankester and Hoffman Point .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it using tellurometer measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1959 to 1963. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named the glacier in 1965 after Commander Lloyd Webb Bertoglio (1917–1986) of the US Navy, commander at McMurdo Station in the Antarctic winter of 1960.
