The Bombardier Glacier is a glacier on the Nordenskjöld coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows from the edge of the Detroit Plateau in a southeast direction through a deep valley basin to the Edgeworth Glacier .
The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey mapped it based on its own measurements between 1960 and 1961.
