It flows east of Chapman Peak south along the Barnes Ridge and flows southwest of Mount Besch and south of the Young Glacier on the east side of the north-central part of the Sentinel Range of the Ellsworth Mountains into the Ellen Glacier .
It was mapped by US researchers in 1988. In 2010 the Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it after a seaside resort of the same name on the southeastern Bulgarian Black Sea coast .
