Academy Glacier, known in Danish as Academy Gletscher, is a glacier in northwestern Greenland within the Greenland Ice Sheet system and associated with the coastlands of Avannaata municipality. It flows from the ice sheet into Leidy Glacier, linking onward to a branch that reaches Academy Fjord, while a smaller branch, Marie Glacier, ends in Olrik Fjord. The glacier’s name was bestowed by explorer Robert Peary in honor of the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences.
