Ascent Glacier (83°13′S 156°24′E / 83.217°S 156.400°E / -83.217; 156.400) is a glacier, 2 nautical miles (4 km) wide, flowing north to enter Argosy Glacier in the Miller Range just east of Milan Ridge. It was named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1961–62) who used this glacier to gain access to the central Miller Range.[1]
