The Jenningsbreen is a 16 km long glacier in Queen Maud Land, East Antarctica . In the Sør Rondane Mountains, it flows north from Lunckeryggen .
Norwegian cartographers mapped it in 1957 using aerial photographs taken during the US Operation Highjump (1946–1947). They named the glacier after Lieutenant James C. Jennings of the United States Navy , co-pilot and navigator on the flights of Operation Highjump to create aerial photographs between 14 ° and 164 ° east longitude.
