The Canada Glacier is a small glacier in Victoria Land to the south of the Antarctic. It is located at 77 ° 37 ' south latitude and 162 ° 59 ' east longitude. The glacier begins at the summit of Mount McLennan Asgard Range, which was also the Commonwealth and the Loftus glaciers begin at about 1900 meters above sea level. Coming from a north-westerly direction, he then flows west of the Fryxellsees in the Taylor Valley, where it ends just a few meters above sea level. It forms the eastern boundary of the small Hoaresees.

The Canada Glacier was mapped by the British Terra Nova expedition under Sir Robert Falcon Scott ( 1910-1913 ). The name comes from the Canadian physicist Charles Wright, who had been a member of the group who explored the area.
