Alt Glacier (71°6′S 162°31′E) is a glacier in Antarctica. It is 4 nautical miles (7 km) long, flowing west-southwest from the Explorers Range of the Bowers Mountains to enter Rennick Glacier just north of Mount Soza. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–64, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Jean Alt, a French observer and weather central meteorologist at Little America V, winter party 1958. The glacier is situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.
