Verila Glacier

Verila Glacier (Bulgarian: ледник Верила, romanizedlednik Verila, IPA: [ˈlɛdniɡ vɛˈriɫɐ]) on Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica is situated southeast of southern Etar Snowfield, southwest of Berkovitsa and Tundzha Glaciers, and west of Kamchiya Glacier. It is bounded by Rotch Dome to the west, Casanovas Peak and Snow Peak to the north, and Ustra Peak to the southeast. The glacier is roughly crescent-shaped, extending 7 nautical miles (13 km; 8.1 mi) in an east-west direction and 2 nautical miles (3.7 km; 2.3 mi) in a north-south direction, and drains southwards into Walker Bay, Bransfield Strait between John Beach and Liverpool Beach at Hannah Point. The glacier's bedrock is connected to Kaliman Island in Walker Bay by a 600 m long moraine tombolo. The area was visited by 19th century British and American sealers.
