The Remus Glacier is a 13 km long glacier on the Fallières coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows from the northern slopes of Mount Lupa along the northwest flank of the Blackwall Mountains to Providence Cove on the Neny Fjord .
The lower reaches of the glacier was roughly measured in 1936 by participants in the British Graham Land Expedition (1934-1937) under the direction of the Australian polar explorer John Rymill . Another survey was undertaken in 1948 and 1949 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey . It is named in connection with the nearby Romulus Glacier after the brothers Romulus and Remus from Roman mythology .
