The Webster Glacier is a glacier in the west Antarctic Ellsworthland . In the Founders Peaks of the Heritage Range in the Ellsworth Mountains, it flows mainly northwards between Frazier Ridge and Pipe Peak to the Minnesota Glacier .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it on the basis of its own measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1961 to 1966. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1966 after Charles W. Webster († 2010), meteorologist of the United States Antarctic Research Program and member of the winter team at Wilkes Station in 1963.
