The Kamchija Glacier ( Bulgarian ледник Камчия lednik Kamchija ) is a 2.5 km long and 5 km wide glacier in the south of Livingston Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . It flows south of the glacial watershed between Drake Passage and Bransfield Strait to the south and flows between the Ereby Point and Memorable Beach in the Mihaylovski Cove , a side bay of the South Bay .
The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2005 after the river Kamchia in northeastern Bulgaria .
