Socks Glacier is a small glacier descending the east slopes of Queen Alexandra Range just north of Owen Hills to enter the west side of Beardmore Glacier. Discovered by the British Antarctic Expedition (1907-09) and named for one of the ponies taken with the South Pole Party. Socks, the last pony to survive the journey, fell into a crevasse on December 7, 1908, on Beardmore Glacier near Socks Glacier.
