The Schenda Glacier ( Bulgarian ледник Женда lednik Schenda ) is an 8 km long and 4.8 km wide glacier in the West Antarctic Ellsworthland . On the east side of the main ridge of the Sentinel Range in the Ellsworth Mountains, it flows from the northeast slopes of Mount Sharp and the east slopes of Mount Barden together with the Skaklja Glacier in a north-westerly direction to the Sabazios Glacier , which it reaches west 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 town of Schenda in southern Bulgaria .
