The Cayley Glacier is a glacier on the Danco coast of Graham Land in the north of the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows in a north-westerly direction to the south side of Brialmont Bay .
Aerial photographs were taken during the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition (FIDASE, 1956–1957), which the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey used for mapping. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named the glacier in 1960 after the British engineer and flight theorist George Cayley (1796-1857).
