The Kitticarrara Glacier is short and steep glacier in East Antarctic Victoria Land . In the Kukri Hills, it flows 1.5 km south of the Howard Glacier in an east-southeast direction to the Ferrar Glacier .
The western group of the British Terra Nova Expedition (1910-1913 ) headed by the Australian geologist Thomas Griffith Taylor (1880-1963) named it after a sheep farm in New South Wales at the suggestion of the Australian geologist Frank Debenham . Kitticarrara is also the Aboriginal name for the hunter's read .
