The Kom Glacier ( Bulgarian ледник Ком Lednik Kom ) is a 10 km long and 8 km wide glacier on the Fallières coast of Graham lands north of the Antarctic Peninsula . It lies south of the Forbes Glacier and flows from the west side of the Hemimont Plateau in a westerly direction between the Mercury Ridge and the Zhefarovich Crag to Square Bay , into which it flows north of the Swithinbank Glacier .
British scientists mapped it in 1978. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2016 after Mount Kom in the Bulgarian part of the Balkan Mountains .
