The Scott Keltie Glacier is a very small glacier on the Pennell coast of the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It flows into Robertson Bay between Penelope Point and the Egeberg Glacier .
Participants in the Southern Cross Expedition (1898–1900) led by the Norwegian polar explorer Carsten Egeberg Borchgrevink mapped it for the first time. Borchgrevink named the glacier after the British geographer John Scott Keltie (1840-1927), secretary of the Royal Geographical Society from 1892 to 1915.
