The Hoek Glacier is a glacier on the Graham Coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows from the Simler snowfield in an easterly direction and flows south of the Llanquihue Islands into Hoek Bay , a side bay of Dimitrov Cove on the Harrison Passage .
Participants in the British Graham Land Expedition (1934–1937) led by the Australian polar explorer John Rymill mapped it. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1959 after the German skiing pioneer Henry Hoek (1878-1951).
