The Nottarp Glacier is a small glacier in the Ross Dependency of Antarctica . In the Queen Elizabeth Range of the Transantarctic Mountains, it flows immediately south of Mount Dam in an easterly direction to the Lowery Glacier .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it on the basis of its own tellurometer measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1960 to 1962. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1966 after the glaciologist Klemens J. Nottarp (1928–1999), who was part of the United States Antarctic Research Program from 1962 to 1963 and from 1965 to 1966 operated on the Ross Ice Shelf .
