The Kooperatsiya Piedmont Glacier is a foreland glacier on the Oates coast of the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It is located on the southwest side of Yermak Point on the shores of Rennick Bay .
Participants of the Second Soviet Antarctic Expedition (1956-1958), who photographed the area in 1958, named the western part of what is now Rennick Bay as Saliw Kooperazija ( Russian Залив Кооперация , cooperative bay ). The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names kept the original name of the bay in 1964 for historical reasons and transferred the Russian name to the glacier. It was named after the Soviet research ship Kooperatsiya .
