Banski Suhodol Glacier

The Banski Suhodol Glacier in July 2012

The Banski Suhodol Glacier (Bulgarian: Ледника в Бански Суходол, Lednika v Banski Suhodol) is a small glacier (glacieret) in the Pirin Mountains of Bulgaria. It lies below the Kutelo peak in the upper Banski Suhodol Valley (Bulgarian: Бански Суходол).

The glacier is on the northern slope of the Kutelo summit and is shaded from the east by the Koncheto ridge. The Banski Suhodol glacier is beside the Debeli Namet glacier in Montenegro and three small glaciers below the Maja Jezerce summit in northern Albania one of the southernmost in Europe. Together with the nearby Snezhnika glacieret below Vihren, it is one of two surviving glacial masses in Bulgaria.[1][2]
