The DeGanahl Glacier is a narrow and steep-walled glacier in the Antarctic Ross Dependency . In the Queen Maud Mountains it flows from Jones Peak in a south-easterly direction to the west flank of the Liv Glacier opposite the June Nunatak .
The American polar explorer Richard Evelyn Byrd discovered and photographed the glacier during his South Pole flight in November 1929 as part of his Byrd Antarctic Expedition (1928–1930). Byrd named him after Joe DeGanahl (1902-1943), navigator and dog sled driver of the support team on this research trip.
