The Dimkow Glacier ( Bulgarian Димков ледник Dimkow lednik ) is a 6 km long and 4 km wide glacier on the Brabant Island in the Palmer Archipelago west of the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows from the western slopes of the Solvay Mountains in a south-westerly direction to Duperré Bay , into which it joins south of Humann Point .
The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2009 after the Bulgarian physician and medical theorist Petar Dimkow (1886–1981).
