The Haas Glacier is a steep glacier in the Ross Dependency of Antarctica . In the Queen Maud Mountains it flows from the Rawson Plateau in a northerly direction and flows into the southern flank of the Bowman Glacier .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it on the basis of its own measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1960 to 1964. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1967 after Charles G. Haas, a meteorologist at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in 1960 .
