The Burdenis Glacier ( Bulgarian ледник Бурденис lednik Burdenis ) is a 6 km long and 1.7 km wide glacier in the west Antarctic Ellsworthland . In the north-central part of the Sentinel Range in the Ellsworth Mountains, it flows north of the Deljo and south of the Gerila Glacier from the north slopes of Mount Viets and the south-east slopes of the south summit of the Long Gables in a north-easterly direction and joins the Deljo and Gerila glaciers north of the Bruguière Peak in the upper section of the Ellen Glacier .
American scientists mapped it in 1961 and 1988. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2014 after the Roman camp Burdenis in southern Bulgaria .
