Honnør Glacier
Honnør Glacier () is a glacier flowing to the east side of Lützow-Holm Bay, Antarctica, to the north of the Byvågåsane Peaks. A glacier tongue extending seaward from this feature was mapped by the Lars Christensen Expedition 1936–37 and named Honnørbrygga (the honor wharf). The Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition, 1957–62, found the glacier tongue had broken off but amended the original naming to apply to the glacier.

The extensive Skarvsnes Foreland, surmounted by bare rock peaks and indented by several coves, protrudes into the east part of the bay north of Trilling Bay. The Honnør Glacier flows into the sea east of it, north of the Byvågåsane Peaks.
North of that, still on the east shore, a small bight called Breidvåg Bight ("broad bay") indents the coast just west of Breidvågnipa Peak. Its north point, just southwest of Mount Hiroe, is called Hiroe Point
