The Ueda Glacier is a large glacier on the Orville coast of West Antarctic Ellsworthland . It flows east along the southern flank of the Scaife Mountains to Hansen Inlet .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it using surveys and aerial photographs by the United States Navy between 1961 and 1967. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named the glacier in 1968 after Herbert Tamotsu Ueda (* 1929), who together with Bernard Lyle Hansen (* 1916) for the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) was responsible for the deep drilling program at Byrd Station between 1966 and 1969.
