The Mosgovitsa Glacier ( Bulgarian ледник Мозговица lednik Mosgovitsa ) is a 10 km long and 2.5 km wide glacier in the north of the West Antarctic Alexander I Island . From the northwest side of the Rouen Mountains, it flows northwest of the Frachat Glacier and northeast of the Russian Gap in a northwest direction between the Senouque Spurs to the Bongrain-Piedmont Glacier .
British scientists mapped it in 1971. The Bulgarian geologists Christo Pimperew and Borislaw Kamenow visited the area around the glacier on January 6, 1988 together with Philip Nell and Peter Marquis from the British Antarctic Survey . The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2017 after the Mosgovitsa River in the Bulgarian Pirin Mountains .
