The Linehan Glacier is a 17.5 km long glacier in the Antarctic Ross Dependency . In the Queen Elizabeth Range it flows from the Prince Andrew Plateau in a northeasterly direction along the north flank of the Turnabout Ridge to the Lowery Glacier .
The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1966 after Daniel J. Linehan (1904-1987), who had carried out seismic measurements on board the USS Atka between 1954 and 1955 and again between 1955 and 1956 to determine ice thicknesses, especially in the Ross Sea area .
