Bachtold Glacier (77°03′S 162°20′E / 77.050°S 162.333°E / -77.050; 162.333Coordinates: 77°03′S 162°20′E / 77.050°S 162.333°E / -77.050; 162.333) is an Antarctic glacier flowing north from Mount Chaudoin, Gonville and Caius Range, into the lower part of Cotton Glacier. The glacier drains the broad slopes between Killer Ridge and Red Ridge. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after Harry W.
