The Svendsen Glacier is a 21 km long and winding glacier in the north of the East Antarctic Victoria Land . In the Usarp Mountains it flows northeast from Mount Marzolf and flows between McCain Bluff and Lenfant Bluff into a foreland glacier west of the mouth of the Rennick Glacier in Rennick Bay .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it using its own surveys and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1960 to 1962. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1970 after Kendall Lorraine Svendsen (1919-2005), geomagnetic of the United States Antarctic Research Program at McMurdo Station from 1967 to 1968.
