Pequod Glacier

Pequod Glacier is a glacier over 15 nautical miles long on the Oscar II Coast of Graham Land in the British Antarctic Territory.

The glacier drains eastwards into Exasperation Inlet between Caution Point and Delusion Point on the east coast of Graham Land, lying parallel and just south of Melville Glacier. The lower part of the glacier was surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from Hope Bay in 1947 and the upper reaches were surveyed in 1955. It was further surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from "Hope Bay" in 1961.

This glacier was named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee after the whaling ship Pequod in Herman Melville's Moby-Dick, in association with other names from that book in this area.
