Depot Glacier (63°25′S 57°3′W / 63.417°S 57.05°W) is a well-defined valley glacier, flanked by lateral moraines, which terminates in a high vertical ice cliff at the head of Hope Bay, in the northeast end of Antarctic Peninsula. Discovered by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, under Nordenskjold, and so named by him because, as seen from Antarctic Sound, it appeared to be a possible site for a depot.
