The Dawson-Lambton Glacier is a heavily crevassed glacier entering the southeastern Weddell Sea immediately west of the Brunt Ice Shelf in Antarctica. It was discovered in January 1915 by a British expedition led by Ernest Shackleton, who named it for Elizabeth Dawson-Lambton, a benefactress of the Shackleton expeditions.
