Shinnan Glacier (Japanese: 新南氷河, Shinnan Hyoga)[1] is a glacier which flows northwest to the coast just east of Shinnan Rocks and marks the division between Queen Maud Land and Enderby Land. Mapped from surveys and air photos by Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE), 1957–62, and named Shinnan Hyōga (new south glacier).[2]
