Lillie Glacier is a large glacier, about 160 km (100 mi) long and 16 km (10 mi) wide, between Bowers Mountains on the west and Concord and Anare Mountains on the east, flowing to Ob' Bay on the coast and forming the Lillie Glacier Tongue. The glacier tongue was discovered by the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910–13, and named for Dennis G. Lillie, biologist on the Terra Nova. The name Lillie has since been extended to the entire glacier. The lower half of the glacier was plotted by ANARE (Thala Dan), 1962, which explored the area and utilized air photos taken by USN Operation Highjump, 1946-47. The whole feature was mapped by USGS from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960-62.
Lillie Glacier Tongue (70°34′S 163°48′E / 70.567°S 163.8°E / -70.567; 163.8) is the prominent seaward extension of the Lillie Glacier into Ob' Bay. Discovered by the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910–13, when the Terra Nova explored westward of Cape North in February 1911. Named by British Antarctic Expedition for Dennis G. Lillie, biologist on the Terra Nova.

Hey lillie, ho lillie lallie,
To the king’s daughter o’ fair England,
To a prize that was won by a slain brother’s brand,

The desert sighs in the bed,
And the crack in the tea-cup opens
A lane to the land of the dead.”
