The Burewestnik Glacier ( Bulgarian ледник Буревестник lednik Burewestnik ) is a 4.2 km long and 3.5 km wide glacier on the Pasteur Peninsula of the Brabant Island in the Palmer Archipelago west of the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows east of the Podajwa Glacier and north of the Lister Glacier from the northern slopes of the Stribog Mountains in a northeasterly direction and flows into the sea east of Marinka Point and northwest of Levenov Point .
British scientists mapped it in 1980 and 2008. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2015 after the Bulgarian trawler Burewestnik , who operated in the waters around the Kerguelen under Captain Nikola Levenow between December 1974 and February 1975 .
