The Scoble Glacier is a 9 km long glacier on the Mawson Coast of the East Antarctic Mac Robertson Land . It flows into the Cooperation Sea 6 km west of Campbell Head .
Norwegian cartographers mapped it using aerial photographs from the Lars Christensen Expedition in 1936/37 and named it Breoddane (Norwegian for glacier peaks ). The Antarctic Names Committee of Australia named it in 1955, however, after the diesel generator mechanic Charles H. Scoble (1914-1948), who drowned on July 4, 1948 in a lake on Macquarie Island.
