Salisbury Glacier

Nature
Salisbury Glacier, known in Greenlandic as Pinguarsuit Sermiat, lies in far northwestern Greenland north of Thule Air Base. More than 3 kilometres long and about 450 metres wide, it is one of four large glaciers that feed Wolstenholme Fjord, a fjord sometimes called the world’s largest ice machine. Its importance rests in its role within this glacier group, together with Chamberlin Glacier, Knud Rasmussen Glacier, and Harald Moltke Glacier, which collectively supply ice to the fjord.
