The Shipley Glacier is a 40 km long glacier in the north-central Admiralty Mountains in the north of the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It flows from the northern slopes of Mount Adam along the east face of the DuBridge Range to Pressure Bay on the Pennell Coast . Some branches of the glacier bypass Pressure Bay and reach the Somow Sea west of Flat Island .

The seaward end of the glacier was first mapped by the northern group of the Terra Nova Expedition (1910-1913) led by British polar explorer Victor Campbell (1875-1956) . Campbell named the glacier at the suggestion of his fellow expedition member Raymond Priestley after the British zoologist Arthur Shipley (1861-1927), from 1910 to 1927 Master of Christ's College at the University of Cambridge .
