Sentinel Range map.

The Strinava Glacier (which is lednik Strinava in Bulgarian) is a glacier located in Antarctica. It is about 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) long and 3 kilometers (1.8 miles) wide. You can find it in the Sullivan Heights area, on the eastern side of the Sentinel Range in the Ellsworth Mountains.

This glacier gets its ice from the northeast slopes of Mount Farrell and the southeast slopes of Mount Levack. It flows eastward from a place called Zmeevo Pass. Eventually, it joins up with the Dater Glacier to the west of Dickey Peak in the Flowers Hills.

The Strinava Glacier was named after an old medieval fortress called Strinava. This fortress is located in northern Bulgaria. The area around the glacier was mapped by the United States in 1988.
