The Rogosch Glacier ( Bulgarian ледник Рогош Lednik Rogosch ) is a 29 km long and 5 km wide glacier on the Oskar-II. coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . From Kyustendil Ridge it first flows southwards, then north of Skilly Peak in an easterly direction and flows at Cape Fairweather into Artanes Bay on the one hand, and west of Pedersen Nunatak into the Weddell Sea on the other . The Breniza Glacier lies to the west, the Drygalski Glacier to the north and the Slokutschene and Rissimina glaciers to the northeast of it.
British scientists mapped it in 1978. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2012 after the town of Rogosch in southern Bulgaria .
