Blanchard Glacier (64°44′S 62°5′W / 64.733°S 62.083°W) is a glacier flowing into Wilhelmina Bay between Garnerin Point and Sadler Point, on the west coast of Graham Land. First charted by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Gerlache, 1897–99, it was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1960 for Jean-Pierre Blanchard (1753–1809), French aeronaut, the first professional balloon pilot, who, with John Jeffries, made the first balloon crossing of the English Channel in 1785.
