The Stubb Glacier is a 17.5 km long glacier on the Oscar II coast in Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows eastwards to Scar Inlet , which it reaches between Mount Queequeg and Tashtego Point .

The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey mapped and photographed the lower section of the glacier in 1947 and the upper section in 1955. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1957 after the second deck officer Stubb in Herman Melville's 1851 novel Moby-Dick .
