Boryana Glacier

Boryana Glacier (Bulgarian: ледник Боряна, ‘Lednik Boryana’ \'led-nik bo-'rya-na\) is the 11 km long and 3.2 km wide glacier on Nordenskjöld Coast in Graham Land, Antarctica situated west-southwest of Desudava Glacier and northeast of Darvari Glacier. It is draining the southeast slopes of Detroit Plateau, flowing between Rice Bastion and Gusla Peak, then turning southwards to enter Mundraga Bay between Desudava Glacier and Darvari Glacier.
