The Chadschiew Glacier ( Bulgarian Хаджиев ледник Chadschiew lednik ) is a 12 km long and 4 km wide glacier in the north of the Alexander I Island west of the Antarctic Peninsula . On the north side of the Havre Mountains, it flows north-northwest of the Foreman Glacier , north of the Wubbold Glacier and east of the Lennon Glacier in a northerly direction between Igralishte Peak in the west and Mount Newman in the east to the Bongrain-Piedmont Glacier .
British scientists mapped it in 1971. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2017 after the Bulgarian composer Parashkev Khadschiev (1912-1992).
