The Mondor Glacier is a 5.5 km long glacier in the north of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . On the Trinity Peninsula, it flows from the head end of the Depot Glacier in a south-westerly direction to Duse Bay . Together with the Depot Glacier, it occupies the depression between Hope Bay and Duse Bay.
The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey took surveys in 1946 and 1956 and finally also the naming based on the naming of Operation Tabarin . Tabarin and Mondor are characters from the book Inventaire universel des œuvres de Tabarin by the French actor Antoine Girard from 1622.
