The Centurion Glacier is a small and steep glacier on the Fallières coast of Graham Land in the north of the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows in a north-westerly direction to Neny Bay , which it reaches between Mount Nemesis and the Roman Four Promontory .
Participants in the British Graham Land Expedition (1934-1937) led by the Australian polar explorer John Rymill made the first measurements of the glacier . The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey refined this in 1947 and gave it the name based on the naming of the Roman Four Promontory. It is named after the Roman centurion .
