Tyndall Glacier, also called Geike Glacier, is one of the largest glaciers of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, in Torres del Paine National Park in the Magallanes Region of Chile. It measures 331 square kilometres in area and 32 kilometres in length, calves mainly into Geikie Lake, and like its neighbor Grey Glacier has been retreating significantly in recent years; it is named for the Irish glaciologist John Tyndall.
