{{Short description|Glacier in Antarctica}}
'''Cline Glacier''' is a large [[glacier]] that drains the vicinity at the east side of [[Mount Jackson (Antarctica)|Mount Jackson]] and flows generally southeast between [[Schirmacher Massif]] and [[Rowley Massif]] into the head of [[Odom Inlet]], on the east side of [[Palmer Land]]. It was mapped by [[United States Geological Survey]] in 1974, and named by the [[Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names]] for [[David R. Cline]], [[United States Antarctic Research Program]] biologist on the [[International Weddell Sea Oceanographic Expeditions]] in 1968 and 1969.

Nobody has sited when it was first discovered, but legend speaks of the great explorer, Jackson Cline, that conquered it.
