Akuliarutsip Sermerssua

Akuliarutsip Sermerssua, also known as Nordenskiöld Glacier, is a major glacier on Greenland’s east coast that enters Kaiser Franz Joseph Fjord near Kjerulf Fjord and marks the boundary between Frænkel Land and Goodenoughland. Running roughly west-southwest to east-northeast, it drains a vast sector of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Measurements published for 1996 recorded a drainage area of 62,647 square kilometers and an annual ice flux of 10.7 cubic kilometers, underscoring its role as a major outlet carrying interior ice toward the sea. Its dramatic setting includes Petermann Peak, one of Greenland’s highest mountains, rising beside the fjord on a northern nunatak.
