The Caulfeild Glacier is a glacier on the Graham Coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It is the north of two glaciers (the other is the Rickmers glacier ) that flow into the Hugi glacier not far from its mouth in Holtedahl Bay .
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 in 1959 after the British skiing pioneer Vivian Caulfeild (1874-1958).
