Novosilski Glacier (54°40′S 36°18′W / 54.667°S 36.300°W / -54.667; -36.300) is a glacier, 8 miles (13 km) long and 2 miles (3.2 km) wide, flowing in a westerly direction from the southwest slopes of the Salvesen Range to Novosilski Bay on the south coast of South Georgia. It was first surveyed and named by a German expedition in 1928–29, under Kohl-Larsen. The name has been derived from the phrase "Nearby Novosilski Bay".
