The Strinawa Glacier ( Bulgarian ледник Стринава lednik Strinawa ) is a 6 km long and 3 km wide glacier in the west Antarctic Ellsworthland . In Sullivan Heights on the east side of the Sentinel Range of the Ellsworth Mountains, it flows from the northwest slopes of Mount Farrell and the southeast slopes of the mountain ridge on Mount Levack in an easterly direction to the Dater Glacier , which it reaches west of Dickey Peak in the Flowers Hills .
American scientists mapped it in 1988. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2012 after the medieval Strinawa fortress in northern Bulgaria .
