Zheravna Glacier

Zheravna Glacier (Lednik Zheravna 'led-nik 'zhe-rav-na) is a glacier on Greenwich Island, Antarctica. The glacier is bounded by Razgrad Peak to the west, Momchil Peak to the north, and Viskyar Ridge to the east. The glacier extends 2km in the east-west direction, and 1.8km in the north-south direction. It drains southwards into McFarlane Strait between Ephraim Bluff and Sartorius Point.

The glacier was named after the settlement of Zheravna in the eastern Balkan Mountains, Bulgaria.
