The Doyle Glacier is a glacier on the Graham Coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows around Prospect Point on both sides in a westerly direction.
Participants in the British Graham Land Expedition (1934–1937) led by the Australian polar explorer John Rymill mapped it. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1959 after the British writer Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930), creator of the literary character Sherlock Holmes and the first Briton to complete a day cross-country ski tour in March 1893 .
