Borgjøkel

Borgjøkel is a broad glacier in central Queen Louise Land in northeastern Greenland, within Northeast Greenland National Park, and one of the region’s main interior glaciers. Mapped during the 1912–13 Danish Expedition led by J. P. Koch, it was named for the nearby Borg wintering station, itself named after Egill Skallagrimsson’s farm in Iceland; jøkel or jökull is an old Norse word for glacier. Flowing from the Greenland ice sheet west of Trekanten, it winds past landmarks including Cloos Klippe, Trefork Lake, Kilen, and Rosmule before reaching its outlet near Storstrømmen, illustrating how it threads through varied terrain rather than following a straight course.
