The Dinsmoor Glacier is a glacier in Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows from the southern edge of the Detroit Plateau in an easterly direction to the Edgeworth Glacier , which it reaches northeast of Mount Elliott .
The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey mapped it on the basis of its own measurements from 1960 to 1961. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it on February 12, 1964 after the American inventor Charles Dinsmoor (1834-1904), who in 1886 was a tracked vehicle which was built and sold in series from 1906 by the Holt Manufacturing Company from Stockton, California .
