The Padala Glacier ( Bulgarian ледник Падала lednik Padala ) is a 9 km long and 3.9 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 northwest of the Kopsis and east-southeast of the Marsa Glacier from the northeast slopes of Bezden Peak and the southeast slopes of Golemani Peak in a northeast direction to the Embree Glacier , which it runs northwest of the Reached Mount Hleven .
American scientists mapped it in 1961 and 1988. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2014 after the town of Padala in western Bulgaria .
