Nunatak Glacier

Nunatak Glacier, or Nunatakgletscher in Danish, is a remote glacier in King Christian X Land in Northeast Greenland within Northeast Greenland National Park. It was named in 1899 by Swedish Arctic explorer and geologist A. G. Nathorst during his Greenland expedition, which was searching for survivors of S. A. Andrée's 1897 Arctic balloon expedition. Nathorst chose the name because nearby nunatak peaks seemed to overhang the ice. The glacier begins at the eastern end of Adolf Hoel Glacier, south of Jakob Kjøde Bjerg, then flows about 20 kilometers from northwest to southeast to the head of Geologfjord, with Strindberg Land to the east and Andrée Land to the west.
