The Osselna Glacier ( Bulgarian ледник Оселна lednik Osselna ) is a 4 km long and 1 km wide glacier in the north of the Alexander I Island west of the Antarctic Peninsula . On the west side of the Havre Mountains, it flows from the south-west slopes of Simon Peak in a south-westerly direction to Lasarew Bay , which it reaches north of Kamhi Point .
British scientists mapped it in 1971. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2017 after the town of Osselna in northwestern Bulgaria .
