Astudillo Glacier (64°53′S 62°51′W / 64.883°S 62.850°W / -64.883; -62.850) is a small glacier flowing into Paradise Harbor between Leith Cove and Skontorp Cove on the Danco Coast of Graham Land.[1] The glacier was surveyed by the Chilean Antarctic Expedition of 1950–51, which applied the name, probably after an expedition member.
