Sessums Glacier (72°0′S 100°33′W / 72.000°S 100.550°W) is a glacier flowing into the head of Henry Inlet on the north side of Thurston Island.
It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after US Navy Lieutenant Commander Walter Sessums. Sessums was a helicopter pilot in the Eastern Group of Operation Highjump, which obtained aerial photographs of Thurston Island and adjacent coastal areas over the Antarctic summer of 1946–47.
