Hoffman Glacier (83°22′S 167°40′E) is a narrow glacier, 10 nautical miles (19 km) long, flowing eastward from Mount Miller in the Holland Range of Antarctica to enter Lennox-King Glacier south of Rhodes Peak. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Lieutenant Commander Robert D. Hoffman, U.S. Navy, commanding officer of the USS Mills (DER-383) during Operation Deep Freeze, 1965.
