The Widul Glacier ( Bulgarian ледник Видул lednik Widul ) is a 7.5 km long and 1.4 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 Skaklja Glacier from the northern slopes of Mount Reimer and the eastern slopes of Mount Dawson in a northerly direction to the Newcomer Glacier , which it reaches west of Mount Warren in the Gromshin Heights .
American scientists mapped it in 1961. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2014 after the Bulgarian rebel leader Widul Widulow (1777-1833).
