The Kansas Glacier is a 40 km long, steep glacier in Marie Byrd Land in western Antarctica . It flows from the Stanford Plateau in a northeastern direction to the Reedy Glacier , which it reaches north of the Blubaugh-Nunatak .
The area was mapped through surveys of the United States Geological Survey and with the help of aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1960 to 1964. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named the glacier in 1967 after the University of Kansas , from which numerous scientists come to study Antarctica .
