Walcott Glacier (78°14′S 163°15′E) is a glacier between Radian and Howchin Glaciers, descending eastward from the Royal Society Range toward Walcott Bay. Named by Taylor of the British Antarctic Expedition (1910–13), presumably for Charles D. Walcott, Director of the U.S. Geological Survey (1894–1907) and Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, 1907-28.
