The Cadman Glacier is a 11 km long and up to 2.5 km wide glacier on the Graham Coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows in a north-westerly direction into the head end of Beascochea Bay .
Participants of the Fifth French Antarctic Expedition (1908-1910) under the direction of the polar explorer Jean-Baptiste Charcot discovered and roughly mapped it in 1909. In 1935, the survey was carried out by participants in the British Graham Land Expedition (1934-1937) under the direction of Australian polar explorer John Rymill . Rymill later named it after the industrial manager John Cadman, 1st Baron Cadman (1877-1941), a sponsor of the British Graham Land Expedition.
