Nature
L. Bistrup Bræ is a major glacier in northeastern Greenland within Northeast Greenland National Park, flowing generally north from the edge of the Greenland Ice Sheet between Queen Louise Land and Rechnitzer Land. First mapped during the Danmark Expedition of 1906 to 1908, it was named by expedition member Henning Bistrup for his father, Lauritz Hans Christian Bistrup. Along its course, the glacier is joined from the west by the A.B. Drachmann Glacier and Budolfi Isstrom. Reaching widths of about 18 kilometers, it bends near its lower end toward the north-northeast and enters Borg Fjord through Bredebræ near the southern end of Storstrømmen.
