The Moubray Glacier is a glacier on the Borchgrevink coast of the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It flows steeply from the Adare Saddle between the Admiralty Mountains and the Adare Peninsula to Moubray Bay . It feeds the Moubray Piedmont Glacier .
Participants of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1957-1958) named it because of its proximity to the bay of the same name after George Henry Moubray (1810-1887), administrator on duty on the research vessel HMS Terror on the Antarctic Expedition (1839-1843) under James Clark Ross .
