Lesicheri Glacier

Lesicheri Glacier (Bulgarian: ледник Лесичери, ‘Lednik Lesicheri’ \'led-nik le-si-'che-ri) is the 7 km long and 3 km wide glacier on Oscar II Coast in Graham Land situated west of Minzuhar Glacier and northeast of Erden Glacier. It drains the southeast slopes of Forbidden Plateau, and flows southeastwards to join Jorum Glacier west of Yordanov Nunatak. The feature is named after the settlement of Lesicheri in Northern Bulgaria.
