Skaklya Glacier

Skaklya Glacier (Bulgarian: ледник Скакля, ‘Lednik Skaklya’ \'led-nik 'skak-lya) is the 5 km long and 2.4 km wide glacier on the east side of the main crest of northern Sentinel Range in Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica. It is situated northwest of Zhenda Glacier and southeast of the head of Vidul Glacier. The glacier drains the south slopes of Mount Reimer and the north slopes of Blenika Peak, flows east-northeastwards and together with Zhenda Glacier joins Sabazios Glacier west of Mount Lanning in Sostra Heights.
