The Byway Glacier is a glacier not far from the Loubet coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows from Slessor Peak in a westerly direction and flows into the northern flank of the Erskine Glacier .
Aerial photos by Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd. from 1955 to 1957 were used by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey for mapping. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it so in 1958 because it is less suitable than the Erskine Glacier for dog sledding.
