The Rasdeljajuschtschi Glacier ( Russian Ледник Разделяющий Lednik Rasdeljajuschtschi , German 'partition glacier ' ) is a roughly 8 km long and strongly fissured glacier in the east Antarctic Mac Robertson Land . It flows from the south-central plateau of the Cumpston Massif in the Prince Charles Mountains in a north-westerly direction to the Mellor Glacier , which it reaches 5 km south-west of Patrick Point .
Soviet scientists named it in 1987. It is named after the fact that the glacier seems to divide the Cumpston massif in two halves.
