Gordon Glacier (80°17′S 26°09′W / 80.283°S 26.150°W / -80.283; -26.150) is an Antarctic glacier of at least 24 miles (39 km) in length flowing in a northerly direction beginning in the Crossover Pass, flowing through the Shackleton Range to finally meet the Slessor Glacier. The glacier was first mapped in 1957 by the CTAE, and named after George Patrick Pirie-Gordon, 15th Laird of Buthlaw (died 4 April 2011), who was a member of the Committee of Management and treasurer of the CTAE between 1955 and 1958.
