The Taylor Glacier is a 2.5 km wide glacier on the Mawson coast of the East Antarctic Mac Robertson Lands . It flows east of Hayes Peak in a northerly direction to the sea, which it reaches immediately east of Cape Bruce .
Participants in the British Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (1929–1931), led by the Australian polar explorer Douglas Mawson, discovered it in February 1931. Mawson named it after the British geographer Thomas Griffith Taylor (1880–1963), participant in the Terra- Nova expedition (1910–1913) of the British polar explorer Robert Falcon Scott .
