The Flagstaff Glacier is a very small glacier on the south coast of King George Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It flows eastward just north of Flagstaff Hill on the Keller Peninsula .
The name was probably given by British glaciologists who worked here in 1958, and is based on the name of Flagstaff Hill. It is named after two flagpoles on the top of the hill.
