The Fowlie Glacier is a 21 km long glacier in East Antarctic Victoria Land . In the Admiralty Mountains it has a common head end with the Dennistoun Glacier and flows from there in a north-westerly direction between Mount Ajax and Mount Faget , before flowing into the main stream of the Dennistoun Glacier at the southeast base of the Lyttelton Range .
The New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1983 after Walter Fowlie, who was a member of a team in the New Zealand Antarctic Research Program who carried out geological surveys of the area between 1981 and 1982.
