Il Polo Glacier (69°50′S 74°54′E / 69.833°S 74.900°E) is a small glacier draining northward between Polar Times Glacier and Polarforschung Glacier into the Publications Ice Shelf, Antarctica. It was delineated in 1952 by John H. Roscoe from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946–47, and was named by Roscoe for Il Polo, a polar journal published by the Istituto Geografico, Forlì, Italy.[1]
