The Green Glacier is a 24 km long and 6 km wide glacier on the Oskar II coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows from the inland plateau in a north-easterly and then easterly direction and flows into the western flank of the Hektoria glacier .
The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) carried out surveys in 1955. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1957 after John Robert Green (1922–1988), who had headed the FIDS station on Deception Island in 1950 and the one on the Argentine Islands in 1951 .
