Verila Glacier (Lednik Verila \'led-nik ve-'ri-la\) on Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica is bounded by Rotch Dome to the west, Casanovas Peak and Snow Peak to the north, and Ustra Peak to the southeast. It is roughly crescent-shaped, extending 13 km in an east-west direction, and 4 km in a north-south direction and drains southwards into Walker Bay, Bransfield Strait between John Beach and Hannah Point.
The glacier is named after Verila Mountain in Western Bulgaria.
Famous quotes containing the word glacier:
““The glacier knocks in the cupboard,
The desert sighs in the bed,
And the crack in the tea-cup opens
A lane to the land of the dead.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
