The Glimpse Glacier is a glacier in the Royal Society Range of the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It flows from a firn field in the area between Mount Kempe and Mount Huggins in a north-easterly direction and flows into the Pipecleaner Glacier 3 km south of its confluence with the Radiant Glacier .
Participants in a campaign from 1960 to 1961 as part of New Zealand's Victoria University's Antarctic Expeditions made the name. Name factor was the fact that the team here in January 1961 after exceeding the watershed between Koettlitz- and Skelton Glacier a glimpse (English glimpse ) to the Polar Plateau snatched.
