The Reedy Glacier (85°30′S 134°00′W / 85.500°S 134.000°W / -85.500; -134.000) is a major glacier in Antarctica, over 100 nautical miles (190 km; 120 mi) long and 6 to 12 nautical miles (11 to 22 km; 6.9 to 13.8 mi) wide, descending from the polar plateau to the Ross Ice Shelf between the Michigan Plateau and Wisconsin Range in the Transantarctic Mountains.

[3] It flows 140 kilometres (87 mi) from the edge of the polar plateau at 86°30′S 140°00′W / 86.500°S 140.000°W / -86.500; -140.000 to become the Mercer Ice Stream at 85°S 140°W / 85°S 140°W / -85; -140 in the southeast corner of the Ross Sea embayment.

The Wisconsin Range to the east and the Queen Maud Mountains to the west holds peaks that rise over 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) above sea level.

[7] The glacier flows into the ice sheet about 100 kilometres (62 mi) behind the Ross Sea grounding line, so the flow and thickness of the glacier are, at least in part, controlled by the damming effest of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.

[7] Reedy Glacier was considerably thicker than it is today at several times in the mid to late Cenozoic.
