The Hill Glacier is a wide glacier on Spaatz Island off the English coast of West Antarctic Ellsworthland . It drains the west-central part of the island and flows into the south side of the Ronne Entrance .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it based on its own surveys and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1961 to 1966.
