Barrett Glacier (84°37′S 174°10′W) is a glacier draining from the north slopes of the Prince Olav Mountains, about 15 nautical miles (30 km) long, flowing between the Longhorn Spurs and the Gabbro Hills to the Ross Ice Shelf. It was named by the Southern Party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1963–64) for Peter J. Barrett, a geologist with that party.[1]
