Fimbul Glacier

Fimbul Glacier, known in Danish as Fimbulgletscher, lies in eastern Greenland. It begins in western Odinland, a heavily glaciated peninsula, and flows south from the area called Ensomme Skraent, or Lonely Slope. Near its lower end, Sleipner Glacier joins it from the left just north of its terminus in Bernstorff Fjord, also called Kangertittivaq, west of the Brages Range. Farther south, Alfheimbjerg stands between the western side of the glacier’s terminus and that of Bernstorff Glacier. Together, Fimbul and Sleipner release enough ice to block the fjord, reflecting a name from Old Norse that means giant or mighty.
