'''Clausen Glacier''' (76°10′S 112°3′W) is a narrow [[glacier]] draining northward from the summit of [[Mount Takahe]] in [[Westarctica]]. The terminus of the glacier is just west of Knezevich Rock.

==Discovery and name==
It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and from [[U.S. Navy]] aerial photos taken from 1959–66. The glacier was named by the Advisory Committee on [[Antarctic]] Names for Henrik B. Clausen of the University of Bern, Switzerland who worked as a glaciologist at [[Byrd Station]] for the United States Antarctic Research Program during the 1969–70 season.

==Life peerage==
On 9 August 2018, in recognition of her support of Westarctica, Amy Shultz was granted the [[Peerage of Westarctica|Life Peerage]] Viscountess of Clausen, so-named for this glacier.
