The Rastorgujew Glacier is a large glacier in the Bowers Mountains in East Antarctic Victoria Land . It flows from the eastern slopes of the Explorers Range between Mount Ford and Mount Sturm over the Flensing Icefall to the Lillie Glacier .
It was mapped by surveying work by the United States Geological Survey and with the help of aerial photographs by the United States Navy between 1960 and 1962. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1964 after the Soviet meteorologist Vladimir Ivanovich Rastorgujew (* 1925), who was part of the International Geophysical year 1957 at the Little America V station .
