The Ebbe Glacier is a 100 km long glacier in the north of the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It flows from the Homerun Range and Robinson Heights in a first north-westerly, then west-north-westerly direction between the Everett Range and the Anare Mountains to the Lillie Glacier . It shares its area of origin with the Tucker Glacier , which flows into the Ross Sea in a south-easterly direction .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it on the basis of its own surveys and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1960 to 1962. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1964 after Commander Gordon Knudsen Ebbe (1916–1989), commanding officer of the VX- 6 from June 1955 to June 1956.
