The Schytt Glacier is a large, around 100 km long glacier on the Princess Martha Coast of the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . It flows in a northerly direction between the Giæver ridge and the Ahlmannryggen to the Jelbart Ice Shelf .
Norwegian cartographers mapped it on the basis of surveys and aerial photographs of the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–1952). It is named after the Swede Stig Valter Schytt (1919–1985), deputy expedition leader and glaciologist of the research trip .
