Admiralty Glacier

Admiralty Glacier is one of the main glaciers in northern Queen Louise Land in northeastern Greenland, within Northeast Greenland National Park. Mapped during the British North Greenland expedition of 1952–54 led by Commander James Simpson, it was named for support from the British Admiralty and Royal Navy. The glacier flows from the Greenland Ice Sheet, first west to east, then turns slightly north of Trefork Lake and continues northeast. Its lower section lies west of the Ad Astra Ice Cap and ends in Støvdal valley at Britannia Lake near southern Britannia Glacier. The expedition also conducted geological study there, and glaciologist Hal Lister vividly described its stark, colorful, snow-edged cliffs and blue ice lakes.
