The Boschinow Glacier ( Bulgarian Божинов ледник Boschinow Lednik ) is a 5 km long and 2.5 km wide glacier on the Danco Coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows north of the Krebs and south of the Nobile Glacier in a westerly direction to Kapisturia Cove , a side bay of Charlotte Bay on the Gerlache Strait .
The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2009 after the Bulgarian aviation pioneer and aircraft designer Georgi Boschinow (1879–1955).
