The Mulock Glacier is a large glacier in the Ross Dependency of Antarctica . It flows from the southern section of the Worcester Range in an east-southeast direction to the Hillary Coast , where it flows over the Mulock Inlet into the northwestern part of the Ross Ice Shelf .
The Mulock Glacier was named in connection with the inlet by the New Zealand Antarctic Place Names Committee after the British polar explorer George Mulock (1882–1963), participant in the British Discovery Expedition (1901–1904).
