Nature
Cornell Glacier, known in Greenlandic as Ikissuup Sermersua and in Danish as Cornell Gletscher, is a tidewater glacier on Greenland’s northwestern shore. In Avannaata municipality, it carries ice from the Greenland ice sheet westward into Nuussuup Kangia, a branch fjord of Sugar Loaf Bay, just east of the base of the Nuussuaq Peninsula. Its significance lies in its role as part of the outlet system linking the inland ice sheet to the coastal waters of northwestern Greenland.
