Nature
Harald Moltke Glacier, known in Greenlandic as Sermersuak, is a major glacier in far northwestern Greenland, north of Thule Air Base. More than 5 kilometres long and about 1,500 metres wide, it is one of the principal ice streams feeding Wolstenholme Fjord, sometimes called the world’s largest ice machine. Along with Salisbury Glacier, Chamberlin Glacier, and Knud Rasmussen Glacier, it helps supply the fjord as part of a larger Arctic system of moving ice that shapes the coast and carries meltwater and ice into the fjord.
