Nemesis Glacier (

70°32′S 67°30′E / 70.533°S 67.500°E / -70.533; 67.500Coordinates: 70°32′S 67°30′E / 70.533°S 67.500°E / -70.533; 67.500) is a large glacier which flows northeast through the center of the Aramis Range, Prince Charles Mountains. Discovered in January 1957 by ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions) southern party under , and named after Homer's Nemesis because considerable difficulty was experienced in traversing the region due to the glacier.
