The Oku-iwa Glacier ( Japanese 奥 岩 氷河 , Norwegian Indrebergbreen ) is a glacier in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . On the Kronprinz-Olav coast , it flows into the Lützow-Holm Bay immediately west of the Oku-iwa rock formation .
Aerial photographs and measurements of a Japanese Antarctic expedition that lasted from 1957 to 1962 were used to map it. The naming was based on that of the rock formation of the same name, which translated means inner rock .
