The Nash Glacier is a 30 km long glacier in East Antarctica Victoria Land . In the Admiralty Mountains it drains the northern slopes of the Dunedin Range and flows into the Somow Sea together with the Dennistoun and Wallis glaciers on the Pennell coast east of Cape Scott .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it using its own measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1960 to 1963. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1970 after Lieutenant Arthur R. Nash, helicopter pilot of the VX-6 flight squadron in Operation Deep Freeze in 1967 and 1968.
