The McKinnon Glacier (70°38′S 67°45′E / 70.633°S 67.750°E / -70.633; 67.750Coordinates: 70°38′S 67°45′E / 70.633°S 67.750°E / -70.633; 67.750) is a glacier flowing southeast from Nemesis Glacier to Beaver Lake in the eastern part of the Aramis Range of the Prince Charles Mountains in Antarctica. The area was first visited by an Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) party in 1956 and mapped from ANARE air photographs. The glacier was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for Graeme W. McKinnon, Geographical Officer with the Antarctic Division, Melbourne, and Officer in Charge of the ANARE Prince Charles Mountains survey party in 1969.[1]
