Pirogov Glacier
Pirogov Glacier is a 5 km long and 1.5 km wide glacier situated south of Djerassi Glacier, west of the head of Mackenzie Glacier and northwest of Balanstra Glacier on Brabant Island in the Palmer Archipelago, Antarctica. It drains the south-southwest slopes of Mount Parry and flows westwards to enter Dallmann Bay south of Minot Point.
The glacier is named for the Russian scientist and surgeon Nikolay Pirogov who developed modern health care in Bulgaria during the 1877-78 Russo-Turkish War.
