Nature
Peary Glacier lies on the Lauge Koch Coast in northwestern Greenland within the Melville Bay area. Fed by the western Greenland ice sheet, it flows southwest to the coast between Rink Glacier and King Oscar Glacier. Its terminus is east of Cape Murdoch and northeast of the Balgoni Islands and Thalbitzer Næs in Melville Bay. The glacier was named for American Arctic explorer Robert Peary, who lived from 1856 to 1920. It is notable for producing relatively few icebergs compared with nearby King Oscar Glacier.
