Hobbs Glacier is an eastward flowing glacier, about 7 nautical miles (13 km) long, lying 2 nautical miles (4 km) south of Blue Glacier on the coast of Victoria Land, Antarctica. It was first explored by the British National Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, under Robert Falcon Scott. Scott's second expedition, the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910–13, explored the area more thoroughly and named the glacier for Professor William H. Hobbs of the University of Michigan, an authority on glaciology.
