Baltaoğlu glacier at 1:13. The name reminds me of a certain Ottoman admiral of the navy who took on the Christian Galleons but the kadirgas under his command proved ineffective against the Christian ships(Europeans learned to incorporate new technology and ship design from Arab muslims after crusades).
Süleyman Baltaoğlu fought hard and fast gave his all. Lost an eye. But when he lost the battle. Sultan Mehmet was so angry he rode his horse into the sea in anger. He was going to be executed but his life was spared when the rest of the army asked for his life to be spared.
Just a nice tidbid of history that came to mind after hearing the name Baltaoğlu glacier.
You can see the battle depicted in this Netflix documentary.
