The Clausnitzer Glacier is a glacier in the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It flows from the Random Hills in an easterly direction to the Tinker Glacier , which it reaches immediately north of the Harrow Peaks .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it based on its own measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1955 to 1963. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1968 after Frazer Warren Clausnitzer (1930-2005), ionospheric physicist at McMurdo Station in Antarctic winter 1966.
