The Bilgeri Glacier is a glacier on the Graham Coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . On the Velingrad peninsula, it flows in an easterly direction to Barilari Bay , which it reaches south of Huitfeldt Point .
Participants in the British Graham Land Expedition (1934–1937) led by the Australian polar explorer John Rymill mapped it. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1959 after the Austrian skiing pioneer Georg Bilgeri (1873-1934).
