The Hotine Glacier is a 16 km long glacier on the Graham Coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . Divided into two streams by Mount Cloos in the lower section, it flows westward into the Deloncle and Girard Bay .
Participants in the Belgica expedition (1897–1899) led by the Belgian polar explorer Adrien de Gerlache de Gomery mapped it. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named him in 1959 after Martin Hotine (1898–1968), first head of the British Directorate of Overseas Surveys .
