The approximately 135 km long and 24 km wide glacier flowing eastward between the Britannia Range and Churchill Mountains to discharge into the Ross Ice Shelf at Barne Inlet. The glacier was named after the American polar explorer and Admiral Richard Evelyn Byrd.

With a typical discharge volume of 20 km ³ and a discharge rate of 825 m per year, he is one of the largest outlet glaciers of Antarctica. In 2006, a flowing under the glacier flow resulted in an increase of speed by 10% and an increase in Auslassvolumens to 22 km ³ per year.
