The Wilkinson Glacier is a glacier on the Loubet Coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows from the southern flank of Protector Heights on the Pernik Peninsula in a westerly direction to Skog Bay on Lallemand Fjord , which it reaches southeast of Crosbie Point .
Aerial photographs were taken during the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition (1956–1957). The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1959 after John V. Wilkinson, captain of the HMS Protector , a Royal Navy patrol boat that was used in Antarctica between 1955 and 1967.
