It lies parallel and just south of Melville Glacier. The lower part of the glacier was surveyed by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1947 and the upper reaches were surveyed in 1955. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) after the whaling ship Pequod in Herman Melville's Moby-Dick. {{usgs-gazetteer}}{{Portalbar|Antarctica|Geography}}{{Glaciers in the Antarctic}}{{Glaciers of Graham Land}}{{OscarIICoast-geo-stub}} 3 : Glaciers of Graham Land|Moby-Dick|Oscar II Coast |
