Blue Glacier ( 77°50′S 164°10′E / 77.833°S 164.167°E / -77.833; 164.167 ( Blue Glacier ) ) is a large glacier which flows into Bowers Piedmont Glacier about 10 nautical miles (19 km; 12 mi) south of New Harbour , in Victoria Land , Antarctica. It was discovered by the British National Antarctic Expedition (BrNAE) under Robert Falcon Scott , 1901–04, who gave it this name because of its clear blue ice at the time of discovery.
