The Plejstor Glacier ( Bulgarian ледник Плейстор lednik Plejstor ) is a 2.2 km long and 1.2 km wide glacier on Liège Island in the Palmer Archipelago off the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula . It flows south-southwest of the Sbelsurd Glacier on the west side of the Brugmann Mountains from the southern slopes of Mishev Peak and the northwest slopes of Mount Vesalius in a west-northwest direction to Vapa Cove .
British scientists mapped it in 1978. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2013 after the Thracian deity Plejstor .
