The Bevin Glacier is an 8 km long glacier on the Foyn coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows in a south-easterly direction from a step into the north-western end of Cabinet Inlet , which it reaches between the confluences of the Attlee and Anderson glaciers .
The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) mapped it in December 1947 based on its own measurements. Aerial photographs were taken at the same time during the American Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–1948). The FIDS named the glacier after the British politician Ernest Bevin (1881–1951), from 1940 to 1945 Minister of Labor in Winston Churchill's war cabinet .
