Morley Glacier (71°12′S 162°45′E) is a steep tributary to Carryer Glacier, flowing south between Hicks Ridge and Mount Tokoroa in the Explorers Range of the Bowers Mountains in Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from ground surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–62, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after Australian International Geophysical Year observer Keith T. Morley, Weather Central Meteorologist at Little America V in 1958.[1]
