The Exodus Glacier is a steep and rugged glacier in East Antarctica, Victoria Land . In the Darwin Mountains, it flows from the north edge of the Midnight Plateau to the southwest side of the Island Arena .
Participants in a campaign of New Zealand's Victoria University's Antarctic Expeditions , which lasted from 1962 to 1963, named it after the name of the neighboring Exodus Valley . This valley owes its name to the fact that it offers the only easy route to descend from the Midnight Plateau.
