Etar Snowfield

Etar Snowfield (Bulgarian: Ледник Етър, romanized: lednik Etar, IPA: [ˈlɛdnik ˈɛtɐr]) is a roughly crescent-shaped snowfield on western Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica situated west of Urdoviza, Medven and Berkovitsa Glaciers, northwest of Verila Glacier, east of Ivanov Beach and south of Gerlovo Beach.

It drains the west slopes of Oryahovo Heights and the north slopes of Rotch Dome, and flows into Barclay Bay between Mercury Bluff and Rowe Point.

The glacier was named after the settlement of Etar in the central Balkan Mountains, Bulgaria.
