The Morning Glacier is a glacier on the Scott Coast of the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It flows from the northeast slope of Mount Morning in the immediate vicinity to the upper section of the Vereyken Glacier and ends 7 km south of Lake Morning .
The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1994 based on the name of the mountain of the same name. Its namesake is the SY Morning , one of the two rescue ships of the Discovery Expedition (1901-1904) under the direction of the British polar explorer Robert Falcon Scott .
