The glacier was named by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition to northern Victoria Land in 1967–68 for Ian Johnstone, chief scientific officer at Scott Base that season.[1] The glacier is situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape William and Cape Adare.
