Irving Glacier (76°13′S 160°16′E / 76.217°S 160.267°E / -76.217; 160.267) is a glacier that flows northwest between the Coombs Hills and Wyandot Ridge to enter Odell Glacier, in the Convoy Range of Victoria Land, Antarctica. It was named in association with nearby Wyandot Ridge after Captain R.K. Irving, U.S. Navy, commander of USS Wyandot (AKA-92), a cargo ship in the Ross Sea Unit in Operation Deep Freeze IV, 1958–59.[1]
