The Yeats Glacier is a 13 km long glacier in the Antarctic Ross Dependency . In the Queen Maud Mountains it flows from the north side of Mount Finley in a westerly direction to the Shackleton Glacier , which it reaches north of the western foothills of the Lockhart Ridge .
The American geologist Franklin Alton Wade (1903-1978), head of the Texas Tech University expeditions to the Shackleton Glacier from 1962 to 1963 and 1964 to 1965 , named him after Vestal L. Yeats (1919-2017), who had participated in both expeditions.
