The Sabazios Glacier ( Bulgarian ледник Сабазий lednik Sabasij ) is a 19 km long and 6 km wide glacier in the west Antarctic Ellsworthland . In the northern Sentinel Range in the Ellsworth Mountains, it flows north of the Embree Glacier from the northern slopes of a ridge between Mount Dalrymple and Robinson Pass in a northerly direction to the Newcomer Glacier , which it reaches northwest of Mount Lanning in the Sostra Heights .

American scientists mapped it in 1961. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2014 after the Thracian god Sabazios .
