The Lillie Glacier is a large glacier located in the north of Victoria Lands in Antarctica between the Concord and the Anare Mountains to the east and the Bowers Mountains to the west. It is about 160 kilometers long and 16 kilometers wide. His spurs pours into the Ob ' Bay, where it forms the Lillie Glacier Tongue.

The glacier tongue was discovered by the Terra Nova expedition ( British Antarctic Expedition ) in the years 1910-1913, which they named after the biologist on the Terra Nova, Denis Gascoigne Lillie ( 1888-1963 ). The domestic part of the glacier was investigated by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions expedition in 1962, which examined the entire area on the basis of photos of Operation High Jump in the U.S. Navy from 1946 to 1947. Maps of the area created the United States Geological Survey due to measurements and the photographs of 1960 until 1962.
