Znepole Ice Piedmont is in Graham Land on the southeast coast of the Trinity Peninsula, which forms the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula. [2] [3] It lies south of Victory Glacier and northeast of Dreatin Glacier, and is bounded by Kondofrey Heights to the north and the 5.2 kilometres (3.2 mi) long narrow rocky ridge featuring Mount Bradley to the west, flowing southeastwards into Prince Gustav Channel, Weddell Sea.
