The Coleman Glacier is a steep and heavily furrowed glacier in the West Antarctic Marie Byrd Land . In the southern part of the Ames Range it flows from the slopes of Mount Andrus .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it based on its own measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy between 1959 and 1965. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1974 after Clarence N.
