The Glopeken ( Russian Ледник Космонавтов Lednik Kosmoniawtow , German ' Kosmonauten Gletscher ' ) is a 40 km long glacier on the Princess Astrid coast of the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . It flows in a northerly direction along the eastern flank of the Conrad Mountains in the Orvinfjella in the central part of the Fimbulheimen and flows into the Lasarew Ice Shelf after merging with the Somoveken glacier .

The name of the glacier goes back to Norwegian scientists.
