Morelli Glacier
Morelli Glacier () is a glacier in the western part of King Peninsula, Antarctica, southeast of Cape Waite, draining northeast to Abbot Ice Shelf in Peacock Sound. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–66, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Panfilo S. Morelli, a glaciologist at Byrd Station in 1961–62.

Morelli took a considerable loss and had to borrow to pay his crews, who were mostly Corsicans.
His ships, which had cost about 1,000,000 francs, were seized and sold at auction for 80,000 francs.
The company suffered from two shipwrecks that made it impossible to conduct the postal service between the continent and Corsica.
The Compagnie Fraissinet started a service that took 15 hours to reach Bastia from Marseille, and took over the postal concession.
