The O'Kane Glacier is a 15 miles long glacier in East Antarctic Victoria Land . It flows from the east face of the Eisenhower Range between Mount Baxter and Eskimo Point in a south-easterly direction to the confluence of the Priestley and Corner glaciers in the northern section of the Nansen ice table .
The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1968 together with the O'Kane Canyon at the head of the glacier after the New Zealand photographer H. D. O'Kane, who was stationed at Scott Base from 1961 to 1962 .
