Sea Lion Glacier (Lednik Morski Lav \'led-nik 'mor-ski 'l&v\) is the site of an isolated 350 metres (1,150 ft) long glacier on Hurd Peninsula, eastern Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. It is located southwest of Hesperides Hill and northwest of Atlantic Club Ridge, separated from the latter by Sea Lion Tarn, and terminating on the South Bay coast.
The glacier, subject of glaciological studies and monitoring for several years since 1993, disappeared completely within a decade.

The wild sea of my conscience, I did steer
Toward this remedy, whereupon we are
Now present here together.”
