Liv Glacier is a steep valley glacier about 40 nautical miles long in Antarctica, emerging from the polar plateau southeast of Barnum Peak and draining north through the Queen Maud Mountains to reach the Ross Ice Shelf between Mayer Crags and the Duncan Mountains. It was discovered in 1911 by Roald Amundsen, who named it for the daughter of the explorer Fridtjof Nansen.
