Kamen Lednik

Rock Glacier (Macedonian: Камен Ледник, romanized: Kamen Lednik) is a rock glacier on the south flank of the Jakupica range below the eastern face of Solunska Glava in the central part of North Macedonia. The glacier's total area is 0.25 km2, which makes it one of the largest in the Balkans.[1] As a result of the freezing and melting processes of the ice in the shattered dolomite outcrops, there are portions and blocks moving towards a segment higher than 500 m and gradually descend through seven whetstones forming four creeps in the segment above the primary source area of the Babuna River, Bogomila Falls.[2]
