The Skaklja Glacier ( Bulgarian ледник Скакля lednik Skaklja ) is a 5 km long and 2.4 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 northwest of the Schenda Glacier and southeast of the head end of the Widul Glacier from the southern slopes of Mount Reimer and the northern slopes of Blenika Peak in an east-northeast direction to the Sabazios Glacier , which it flows west of Mount Reached Lanning in Sostra Heights .
American scientists mapped it in 1961. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2014 after the Skaklja waterfall in western Bulgaria .
