Nature
Morris Jesup Glacier lies in northwestern Greenland in the Smith Sound area, where it drains from the Greenland Ice Sheet into the head of an unnamed fjord just north of Cape Robertson and flows roughly northeast to southwest. Explorer Robert Peary named it for Morris K. Jesup, an American industrialist and philanthropist who led the Peary Arctic Club and helped finance Peary’s Arctic expeditions. Nearby features include Diebitsch Glacier beyond Cape Saumarez to the northwest and Siorapaluup Kangerlua to the southeast around Cape Robertson. It is one of Greenland’s many outlet glaciers linking the ice sheet to the Arctic coast.
