The Marsa Glacier ( Bulgarian ледник Марса lednik Marsa ) is a 5 km long and 1.5 km wide glacier in the West Antarctic Ellsworthland . In the Bangey Heights on the east side of the north-central Sentinel Range of the Ellsworth Mountains, it flows northeast of the Patlejna Glacier and northwest of the head end of the Padala Glacier from the northern slopes of Golemani Peak in a north-northeast direction between Oreshak Peak and Fucha Peak to Embree Glacier , which he reaches west of Mount Schmid .
American scientists mapped it in 1961 and 1988. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2014 after the medieval town of Marsa in southern Bulgaria .
