Tucker Glacier (72°32′S 169°15′E / 72.533°S 169.250°E / -72.533; 169.250 (Tucker Glacier)) is a major valley glacier of Victoria Land, Antarctica, about 90 nautical miles (170 km; 100 mi) long, flowing southeast between the Admiralty Mountains and the Victory Mountains to the Ross Sea. There is a snow saddle at the glacier's head, just west of Homerun Range, from which the Ebbe Glacier flows northwestward.[1]
