The Strange Glacier is a glacier on the Orville coast of the Palmerland on the Antarctic Peninsula . In the Latady Mountains it flows along the south side of the Crain Ridge in a south-easterly direction to the Gardner Inlet , which it reaches between the Schmitt Mesa and Mount Austin .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it based on its own surveys and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1961 to 1967. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1968 after Donald Lee Strange, Hospital Corpsman at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in 1964 .
