The Brush Glacier is an alien glacier on the Walgreen Coast of Marie Byrd Land in West Antarctica . In the northwest of the Bear Peninsula, it flows west to the Dotson Ice Shelf , which it reaches north of Jeffery Head .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it on the basis of its own measurements and aerial photographs of Operation Highjump (1946–1947) from January 1947. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1967 after Bernard Eugene Brush (1941–2007), an engineer on a branch of the Byrd- Station in 1966.
