The Robson Glacier is a 5 km long glacier in East Antarctica Victoria Land . In the Gonville and Caius Range, it flows north along the eastern flank of the Red Ridge ridge . South of the Redcliff Nunatak it flows into the main stream of ice masses, mainly originating from the Mackay Glacier , which pours into Granite Harbor on the Scott coast .
The western group led by Thomas Griffith Taylor on the Terra Nova Expedition (1910–1913) led by the British polar explorer Robert Falcon Scott named the glacier. The namesake is not known.
