The veselie Glacier ( Bulgarian ледник Веселие Lednik veselie ) is a 7-km long and 2.5 km wide glacier on the Oskar-II.-coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . From the Austa Ridge it flows southeast of the Jorum Glacier and northeast of the Tschernootschene Glacier in an east-southeast direction along the northern slopes of Mount Birks to the Spillane Fjord , which it reaches west-southwest of Caution Point .
British scientists mapped it in 1976. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2013 after the town of Wesselie in southeastern Bulgaria .
