The Prospect Glacier is a glacier on the Fallières coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows between the Kinnear Mountains and the Mayer Hills in a northerly direction to the Forster-Piedmont Glacier .
Participants in the British Graham Land Expedition (1934–1937) made a first rough mapping . In 1954, the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey named a supposed saddle between the Eureka Glacier and the glacier described here as the Prospect Pass. After this object could no longer be identified during a new survey in 1958, the name was transferred to the glacier.
