Kreitzer Glacier (70°22′S 72°36′E / 70.367°S 72.600°E / -70.367; 72.600) is a glacier flowing northwest between Jennings Promontory and the Reinbolt Hills into the eastern part of the Amery Ice Shelf, Antarctica. It was delineated in 1952 by John H. Roscoe from aerial photographs taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946–47, and was named by Roscoe for Lieutenant William R. Kreitzer, U.S. Navy, commander of one of the three Operation Highjump aircraft used in photographing this and other coastal areas between 14°E and 164°E.[1]
