The Utstikkar Glacier ( norwegian , Utstikkarbreen in Australia Jelbart Glacier called ) is a broad glacier at the Mawson coast of the East Antarctic Mac Robertson Lands . It flows in a northerly direction from an area not far from Moyes Peak and flows into the cooperation lake in the form of a glacier tongue ( 67 ° 30 ′ S , 61 ° 22 ′ E ) west of Utstikkar Bay .
Norwegian cartographers mapped it using aerial photographs taken during the Lars Christensen Expedition 1936/37 between January and February 1937. The Norwegian name means something like "the sweeping glacier".
