Goodspeed Glacier (77°30′S 162°29′E / 77.500°S 162.483°E / -77.500; 162.483) is a small hanging glacier on the south wall of Wright Valley in Victoria Land, Antarctica, between Hart Glacier and Denton Glacier. It was named by U.S. geologist Robert Nichols after Robert Goodspeed, geological assistant to Nichols at nearby Marble Point in the 1959–60 field season.[1]
