The Kokora Glacier ( Bulgarian ледник Кокора Lednik Kokora ) is a 13 km long and 1.5 km wide glacier on the Oskar-II. coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . In the Aristotle Mountains it first flows 11 km eastward between the two parallel ridges of the Stevrek Ridge , and then turns in a south-easterly direction to the Melville Glacier .
British scientists mapped it in 1976. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2013 after the village of Kokora in southern Bulgaria .
