The Cambridge Glacier is a wide, sheet-like glacier in East Antarctic Victoria Land . It flows between the Convoy Range and the Coombs Hills south to the Mackay Glacier , which it reaches between Mount Bergen and the Gateway Nunatak .
The New Zealand Northern Group of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1955-1958) carried out a geodetic survey of the glacier in 1957 and named it after the University of Cambridge , where many of the scientific reports on Antarctica were made.
