The Bingham Glacier is a 25 km long glacier on the Wilkins Coast of the Palmerland on the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows into the Larsen Ice Shelf at Cape Reichelderfer to the south .

The estuary was photographed during overflights by Hubert Wilkins in 1928 and by Lincoln Ellsworth in 1935 . He was mapped by participants in the British Graham Land Expedition (1934-1937) under the direction of the Australian polar explorer John Rymill in 1936. Further measurements were made in 1940 by scientists from the United States Antarctic Service Expedition (1939-1941). The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named him in 1947 after Edward William Bingham (1901-1993), a member of the British Graham Land Expedition.
