Nature
Wordie Glacier, known in Danish as Wordie Gletscher, is a large glacier in northeastern Greenland on the east coast of the Greenland ice sheet. Named for Scottish polar explorer James Wordie by Lauge Koch’s 1926–27 expedition, it extends about 80 kilometers from northwest to southeast between Stenoland and Payer Land. Its system includes Vibeke Glacier, Iris Glacier, and Granta Glacier, with several nunataks rising above the ice. The glacier ends in Wordie Bay at the head of Godthab Gulf, near Clavering Island and the Norlund Alps, where Jordan Hill rises prominently beside the terminus.
