The DeWald Glacier is an 8 km long glacier in East Antarctica, Victoria Land . In the Victory Mountains it flows from the northeastern slopes of Bramble Peak in a northeastern direction and flows into the Pearl Harbor Glacier at the confluence with the Lensen Glacier .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it on the basis of its own measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1960 to 1962. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1973 after Lieutenant Bruce Frederick DeWald of the US Navy, aerographer of the winter team on the McMurdo- Station in 1963 and 1966 as well as officer responsible for weather forecasts at this station in the Antarctic summer months between 1972 and 1973 and between 1973 and 1974.
