The Harbord glacier tongue is an approximately 8 km long glacier tongue on the Scott coast of the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It flows into the Ross Sea as an extension of the Harbord Glacier south of the Whitmer Peninsula .
Together with the glacier of the same name , it was discovered by participants in the Nimrod Expedition (1907–1909) under the direction of the British polar explorer Ernest Shackleton and named after Arthur Edward Harbord (1883–1961), who participated in the expedition as a crew member of the expedition ship Nimrod .
