[1] It was named after Russian geologist, member of the Russian Academy of Sciences and professor at St. Petersburg University Alexander Alexandrovich Inostrantsev (Александр Александрович Иностранцев) by Arctic explorer Georgy Sedov.

[2] The Inostrantsev Glacier is located on the western side of northern Severny Island of Novaya Zemlya.

Flowing from the Severny Island ice cap, it is a roughly southeast-northwest oriented tidewater glacier and its front, where other three smaller tributary glaciers merge, has a width of over 3 km.

Its terminus is at the Inostrantsev Bay (zaliv Inostrantseva) of the Barents Sea, a 14 km wide and 130 m deep fjord.
