The Drygalski Ice Tongue, also called the Drygalski Barrier or Drygalski Glacier Tongue, is a glacier feature on the Scott Coast in the northern McMurdo Sound of Antarctica's Ross Dependency, about 240 kilometers north of Ross Island. Unusually stable by Antarctic standards, it extends 70 kilometers out to sea from the David Glacier, reaching the coast through a valley in the Prince Albert Mountains of Victoria Land, and ranges from 14 to 24 kilometers wide.
