The Olentangy Glacier is a glacier in Marie Byrd Land in West Antarctica . It flows from the Wisconsin Range east-northeast of Sisco Mesa in a southerly direction to the McCarthy Glacier and to the larger Reedy Glacier southwest of Mount McNaughton .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it on the basis of its own measurements and using aerial photographs of the United States Navy between 1960 and 1964. At the suggestion of the team at Ohio State University , which carried out geological studies in the Horlick Mountains between 1964 and 1965, the glacier was after the Olentangy River that flows through the university campus .
