The Desudawa Glacier ( Bulgarian ледник Десудава Lednik Desudawa ) is a 15.5 km long and 5 km wide glacier on the Nordenskjöld Coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . From the northeastern slopes of Gusla Peak , the adjacent slopes of the Detroit Plateau to the north , the southern slopes of Ivats Peak and the western slopes of Mount Elliott, it flows south to Mundraga Bay , which it reaches immediately east of the Borjana Glacier . The ice masses in the northern part of the glacier accommodate the Wedrare , the Sgorigrad and the Storgosia Nunatak in north-south order .
British scientists mapped it in 1978. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2012 after the Thracian city of Desudawa in what is now southwestern Bulgaria .
