Temple Glacier (64°0′S 60°1′W / 64.000°S 60.017°W / -64.000; -60.017) is a glacier flowing into the south side of Lanchester Bay on the west coast of Graham Land. Photographed by Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd. in 1955-57 and mapped from these photos by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS). Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1960 for Félix du Temple de la Croix (1823–1890), French naval officer who in 1857 designed the first powered model airplane to rise unaided, fly freely and land safely.
