Vrachesh Glacier

Vrachesh Glacier (Bulgarian: ледник Врачеш, ‘Lednik Vrachesh’ \'led-nik 'vra-chesh) is the 10.3 km long and 2.7 km wide glacier on Nordenskjöld Coast in Graham Land situated southwest of Kladorub Glacier and northeast of Enravota Glacier. It drains the southeast slopes of Detroit Plateau, flows southeastwards, and south of Papiya Nunatak turns east to enter Desislava Cove in Weddell Sea northeast of Richard Knoll. The feature is named after the settlement of Vrachesh in Western Bulgaria.
