Lardeya Ice Piedmont

Lardeya Ice Piedmont is a geographic feature located on Brabant Island within the Palmer Archipelago of Antarctica. It is situated on the eastern slopes of the Stribog Mountains, flowing eastward toward the Gerlache Strait.

The ice piedmont is approximately 16 kilometers long and 7.5 kilometers wide. It is positioned to the south of Hippocrates Glacier and to the north of Buls Bay.

The feature was named in 2015 by the Bulgarian Antarctic Place-names Commission. The name originates from the medieval fortress of Lardeya, which was located in southeastern Bulgaria near the modern town of Karnobat.
