The Dunn Glacier is a steep glacier in East Antarctic Victoria Land . It flows from the northwest slopes of Mount Casey in the Mountaineer Range in a northerly direction to the Icebreaker Glacier .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it based on its own surveys and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1960 to 1964. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1969 after Robert Dunn, Commissaryman of the US Navy, who wintered in 1967 at McMurdo Station .
