Minnesota Glacier
Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox glacier
Minnesota Glacier (Template:Coord) is a broad glacier, about Template:Convert long and Template:Convert wide, flowing east through the Ellsworth Mountains in Antarctica, separating the Sentinel Range and the Heritage Range. It is nourished by ice from the plateau west of the mountains and by Nimitz Glacier and Splettstoesser Glacier, and merges into the larger Rutford Ice Stream at the eastern margin of the Ellsworth Mountains.
The glacier was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, which sent research parties to the Ellsworth Mountains in 1961–62, 1962–63 and 1963–64.<ref name=gnis/>
