The Webb Glacier is a 3 km long glacier on South Georgia . It flows from Mount Brooker in the Allardyce Range in a south-easterly direction to the Ross Glacier on the north coast of the island.
The glacier is named after the British geodesist Edgar Clive Webb from the South Georgia Survey , who climbed Mount Brooker for the first time on January 30, 1955 together with his compatriot Ian M. Brooker. The glacier was part of their ascent route to the top of the mountain.
