Cronus Glacier is a glacier six nautical miles long and three nautical miles wide flowing northwest into Bowman Inlet between the Calypso Cliffs and Crabeater Point on the east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula.
The glacier was photographed by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (trimetrogon air photography) on 22 December 1947, and roughly surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in December 1958. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Cronus, the god of agriculture in Greek mythology.
