Meander Glacier (73°16′S 166°55′E / 73.267°S 166.917°E / -73.267; 166.917Coordinates: 73°16′S 166°55′E / 73.267°S 166.917°E / -73.267; 166.917) is a large meandering tributary to the Mariner Glacier in Victoria Land. The glacier emerges in the vicinity of Mount Supernal and Hobbie Ridge and drains generally eastward for 30 miles (48 km) through the Mountaineer Range to join Mariner Glacier just east of Engberg Bluff.
