Trepidation Glacier (78°46′S 162°21′E / 78.767°S 162.350°E / -78.767; 162.350) is a small glacier entering the east side of Skelton Glacier between Moraine Bluff and Red Dike Bluff: The name was applied by the New Zealand party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1956–58) and refers to a 1957 attempt by an aircraft to land on the exceedingly broken ice at the foot of the glacier.
