Kjer Glacier

Kjer Glacier is a tidewater glacier on Greenland’s northwestern coast, draining the Greenland ice sheet southwestward into Melville Bay. Its front lies northwest of the Tuttulikassak nunatak, between Steenstrup Glacier to the north and Hayes Glacier to the south, and it marks the northern end of the Upernavik Archipelago. The glacier has also been part of shifting administrative boundaries in the region. Before January 1, 2009, it lay along the boundary between the former Upernavik and Qaanaaq municipalities. After a national reorganization, it became part of Qaasuitsup municipality, and since January 1, 2018, it has been within Avannaata municipality.
