Nature
Kronborg Glacier is a fast-flowing valley glacier on Greenland’s remote east coast, named for Kronborg Castle in Denmark. Flowing roughly north to south through mountainous terrain, it forms natural boundaries between several major ranges before ending at the head of Ravn Fjord. Its structure resembles nearby Christian IV Glacier, with Rosenborg Glacier between them. The glacier is also linked to a Cold War tragedy: in 1962, a VP-5 Lockheed P-2 Neptune crashed on its slope, killing all twelve aboard. Geologists found the wreckage in 1966, and in 2004 the United States Navy recovered all crew remains and honored the dead at the site.
