Jennings Glacier (71°57′S 24°22′E) is a glacier, 10 nautical miles (19 km) long, flowing north along the west side of the Luncke Range in the Sør Rondane Mountains of Antarctica. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers in 1957 from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump, 1946–47, and named for Lieutenant Joe C.
