Howe Glacier (86°14′S 149°12′W / 86.233°S 149.200°W / -86.233; -149.200) is a short tributary glacier draining west into Scott Glacier immediately north of Mount Russell, in the Queen Maud Mountains of Antarctica. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–63, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Robert C. Howe of U.S. Navy Squadron VX-6, a photographer on Operation Deep Freeze 1966 and 1967.[1]
