Nature
Frederiksborg Glacier is a valley glacier on the east coast of the Greenland ice sheet in eastern Greenland. Named after Frederiksborg Castle in Denmark, it flows through a mountainous corridor to the head of Watkins Fjord within the larger Kangerlussuaq Fjord system. The glacier separates the Lemon Range from mountains near Sorgenfri Glacier, with Actress above its upper reaches and other nearby ice features to the north. During the British East Greenland Expedition of 1935–36, E. C. Chambers and Dr. P. B. Fountaine tried to travel up the glacier but turned back because the ice was too heavily crevassed. It is now part of Sermersooq Municipality.
