The Borjana Glacier ( Bulgarian ледник Боряна Lednik Borjana ) is an 11 km long and 3.2 km wide glacier on the Nordenskjöld Coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . From the southeastern slopes of the Detroit Plateau , it first flows between the Rice Bastion and Gusla Peak , then turns south and flows between the Desudawa and Darwari glaciers to Mundraga Bay .
British scientists mapped it in 1978. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2012 for the village of Borjana in northeastern Bulgaria .
