The McClary Glacier is a 16 km long and 3 km wide glacier on the Fallières coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows in a south-westerly direction along the northern flank of the Butson Ridge ridge into Calmette Bay between Cape Calmette and the Debenham Islands .
Participants in the British Graham Land Expedition (1934–1937) led by the Australian polar explorer John Rymill made the first rough mapping . Further measurements were carried out between 1946 and 1950 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey . The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named him in 1962 after George B. McClary, the father of Nelson C. McClary (1921-2001), mate on the research ship Port of Beaumont during the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947-1948).
