The Fonfon Glacier ( Bulgarian ледник Фонфон lednik Fonfon ) is a 4 km long and 2.3 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 Gerila Glacier and south of the head end of the Embree Glacier from the northeast slopes of the north summit of the Long Gables and the southeast slopes of Mount Anderson in a north-easterly direction to the upper section of the Ellen Glacier , which it reached southeast of Eyer Peak .
American scientists mapped it in 1961 and 1988. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2014 after a location in the Bulgarian Vitosha Mountains .
