The Lucy Glacier is a wide glacier in the Ross Dependency of Antarctica . It flows from the Polar Plateau in a south-westerly direction between the Laird Plateau and the McKay Cliffs to the Nimrod Glacier , which it reaches between the Cobham Range and the Geologists Range .
The New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1966 after William Robert Lucy, a New Zealander, geodesist at Scott Base from 1963 to 1964 and geologist in the Geologists Range in a campaign carried out from 1964 to 1965 as part of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition .
