Wright Upper Glacier (77°32′S160°35′E / 77.533°S 160.583°E / -77.533; 160.583 (Wright Upper Glacier)) is an ice apron at the upper west end of Wright Valley in the Asgard Range, Antarctica.
It is formed by a glacier flowing east from the inland ice plateau.
It was named by the Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition (VUWAE) (1958–59) for C. S. Wright, a member of the British Antarctic Expedition (1910–13), after whom the "Wright Glacier" (adjusted to Wright Lower Glacier by the VUWAE) was named.[1]
