The Lessitscheri Glacier ( Bulgarian ледник Лесичери Lednik Lessitscheri ) is a 7 km long and 3 km wide glacier on the Oskar-II. coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows west of the Minsuchar glacier and northeast of the Erden glacier from the southeast slopes of the Forbidden Plateau in a southeast direction to the Jorum glacier , which it reaches west of the Jordanow Nunatak .
British scientists mapped it in 1976. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2013 after the town of Lessicheri in northern Bulgaria .
