The Harlin Glacier is a broadly sweeping glacier in East Antarctica Victoria Land . It flows from the polar plateau near Mount Nero on the northwest side of the Daniels Range northeast between the Sample Nunatakkern and the northern end of the Daniels Range and then turns in an easterly direction to the lower section of the Rennick Glacier . East of the Sample Nunataks, it meets the Lovejoy Glacier , which loses its independent glacier characteristics as a result.
The area was mapped through the United States Geological Survey and aerial photography from the United States Navy from 1960 to 1962. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named him in 1964 after Ben W. Harlin, a meteorologist at Little America V Station in 1957 and Scientific Director of the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in 1961.
