The Pashuk Glacier ( Bulgarian ледник Ландрет lednik Landret ) is a steep, 2.3 km long and 600 m wide glacier on Smith Island in the archipelago of the South Shetland Islands . On the southeast side of the Imeon Range, it flows from Mount Foster between the side ridges that separate it from the Rupite Glacier in the north and the Dragoman Glacier in the south, in a south-easterly direction to Ivan Asen Cove on the Bransfield Strait .
Bulgarian scientists mapped it in 2009. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2010 after the New Zealander Greg Landreth, who, on January 29, 1996, succeeded with his team on the first ascent of Mount Foster.
