Prospect Glacier is a glacier on the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula, on Palmer Land, flowing north between the Kinnear Mountains and the Mayer Hills into the Forster Ice Piedmont. It was first surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition under John Rymill. A nearby col was initially named Prospect Pass by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1954, but a 1958 resurvey by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey found that feature to be indeterminate, and the well-marked glacier beside it was named Prospect Glacier instead.
