Rezovski Creek is a small stream in Livingston Island, Antarctica. It's about 500 meters long. This stream is special because it's a melt-water stream. This means its water comes from melting snow and ice, not from rain.

Rezovski Creek flows down the northwestern side of the Balkan Snowfield. You can find it between several hills and rocks, including Hesperides Hill, Atlantic Club Ridge, Krum Rock, and Sinemorets Hill in the eastern part of Livingston Island.

About Livingston Island

Livingston Island is part of the South Shetland Islands, which are located near the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula. This area is very cold and mostly covered in ice and snow all year round. Scientists and researchers often visit Livingston Island to study its unique environment, glaciers, and wildlife.

What is a Melt-Water Stream?

A melt-water stream like Rezovski Creek is formed when ice and snow melt, usually during the warmer months of summer. The water then flows downhill, creating a stream. These streams are important because they carry water and nutrients across the landscape, even in icy places like Antarctica.
