Smith Glacier (75°05′S 112°00′W / 75.083°S 112.000°W / -75.083; -112.000 (Smith Glacier) is a low-gradient Antarctic glacier, over 160 km (100 mi) long, draining from Toney Mountain in an ENE direction to Amundsen Sea. A northern distributary, Kohler Glacier, drains to Dotson Ice Shelf but the main flow passes to the sea between Bear Peninsula and Mount Murphy, terminating at Crosson Ice Shelf.[1]
