The Nameless Glacier (English for Nameless Glacier ) is a glacier on the Pennell coast of East Antarctica Victoria Land . On the west side of the Adare Peninsula, it flows 5 km northeast of the Newnes Glacier into Protection Cove , a side bay of Robertson Bay .
The northern group led by Victor Campbell in the Terra Nova Expedition (1910-1913) under the direction of the British polar explorer Robert Falcon Scott carried out measurements and naming in 1911. It is named after the fact that this glacier is the only glacier that flows into Robertson Bay that the Norwegian polar explorer Carsten Egeberg Borchgrevink left unnamed during his Southern Cross Expedition (1898–1900).
