Higashi-naga-iwa Glacier (68°27′S 41°38′E / 68.450°S 41.633°E / -68.450; 41.633) is a wide glacier flowing to the sea at the eastern side of Naga-iwa Rock in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. It was mapped from surveys and air photos by the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition, 1957–62, and, in association with nearby Naga-iwa Rock, named "Higashi-naga-iwa-hyoga" (eastern long rock glacier).[1]
