Vandament Glacier (85°19′S 167°10′E) is an east-flowing glacier, 6 nautical miles (11 km) long, draining the east-central portion of the Dominion Range icecap. The glacier lies close south of Koski Glacier, whose flow it parallels, and terminates 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) northwest of Safety Spur. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Charles H. Vandament, the United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP) ionospheric physicist at South Pole Station, 1962.
