The Lancing Glacier is a 5 km long glacier in southern South Georgia . It flows from the Allardyce Range from Mount Corneliussen and Smillie Peak in a southerly direction and flows into Newark Bay .
The South Georgia Survey mapped it as part of its surveying campaign, which lasted from 1951 to 1957. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1958 after the SS Lancing , a ship launched in 1898 as the SS Flaxwell , which was converted into a factory ship for whaling in 1923 and in the waters around South Georgia and the South between 1925 and 1926 Shetland Islands had operated.
