Glenzer Glacier is a glacier about 5 nautical miles west of Conger Glacier on the Knox Coast of Antarctica, draining northward into the eastern part of the Shackleton Ice Shelf. It was mapped in 1955 from aerial photographs taken during the 1946-47 U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, and was named for Lieutenant Hubert Glenzer Jr., a pilot with the 1947-48 U.S. Navy Operation Windmill who helped establish astronomical control stations along the coast from Wilhelm II Coast to Budd Coast.
