It lies southwest of Znepole Ice Piedmont and north of Aitkenhead Glacier, draining the area southwest of Mount Bradley and north of Tufft Nunatak, and flowing southeastwards into Prince Gustav Channel, Weddell Sea west of Marmais Point.

The glacier is named after the settlement of Dreatin in Western Bulgaria.
