The Bond Glacier is a steep and very rugged glacier on the Knox Coast of Wilkesland, East Antarctica . It flows from the continental ice shelf to Blunt Cove at the head of Vincennes Bay , which it reaches west of Ivanoff Head .
Aerial photographs taken during Operation Highjump (1946–1947) were used to map it. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named him in 1955 after Charles Alonzo Bond (1904-1989), commander of the Western Group in Operation Highjump.
