Il Polo Glacier is a small Antarctic glacier draining northward between Polar Times Glacier and Polarforschung Glacier into the Publications Ice Shelf. It was delineated in 1952 by John H. Roscoe from aerial photographs taken during the U.S. Navy Operation Highjump of 1946-47, and named for Il Polo, a polar journal published by the Istituto Geografico in Forli, Italy.
