The Harbor Glacier is a glacier on the Scott Coast of the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It flows from the Wilson Piedmont Glacier in a northerly direction and flows east of the Couloir Cliffs in the form of a glacier tongue into Granite Harbor .
The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named him in 2005 based on the naming of his glacier tongue, which was named the Harbor Ice Tongue by participants in the Terra Nova Expedition (1910-1913) led by the British polar explorer Robert Falcon Scott and, in turn, the estuary of Granite Harbor.
