It flows northeast of the Stefan Piedmont Glacier and west of the Solun Glacier from the northern slopes of Protector Heights in a northerly direction to Darbel Bay , which it reaches east of Madell Point .
British scientists mapped it in 1976. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2010 after the Czech-Bulgarian archaeologist Karel Škorpil (1859–1944).
