Glaciers and Ice Formations

Krivodol Glacier is a glacier about 3.8 kilometers long on Smith Island in the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica. It drains the southeast slopes of the Imeon Range northeast and east of Antim Peak and flows southeast into Osmar Strait near Sredets Point, lying between Ovech Glacier to the southwest and Pashuk Glacier to the northeast. It was mapped by Bulgarian surveyors in 2009 and named for the town of Krivodol in northwestern Bulgaria.
