Sinion Glacier
Sinion Glacier (Bulgarian: ледник Синион, romanized: lednik Sinion, IPA: [ˈlɛdnik siniˈɔn]) is the 6 km long and 3 km wide glacier on Nordenskjöld Coast in Graham Land situated southwest of Zaychar Glacier and north of Akaga Glacier. It drains the southeast slopes of Detroit Plateau, and flows east-southeastwards along the south slopes of Kableshkov Ridge to enter Odrin Bay in Weddell Sea. The feature is named after the Bulgar ruler Sinion (6th century).
