Linehan Glacier (83°15′S 162°41′E / 83.250°S 162.683°E / -83.250; 162.683) is a glacier, 11 nautical miles (20 km) long, in Antarctica. It flows northeast from Prince Andrew Plateau along the north side of Turnabout Ridge to enter Lowery Glacier. Linehan Glacier was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Father Daniel Linehan, S.J., who made seismic soundings of ice thickness from the USS Atka (AGB-3), 1954–55, and in the Ross Sea area, 1955–56.[1]
