The Lliboutry Glacier is a glacier on the Loubet coast of Graham Land in the north of the Antarctic Peninsula . At the base of the Arrowsmith Peninsula, it flows from the Boyle Mountains in a south-westerly direction to the Bourgeois Fjord .
The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1983 after the French physicist and glaciologist Louis Antonin François Lliboutry (1922-2007) from the University of Grenoble , who had dealt with the glaciers on the Antarctic Peninsula, among other things.
