Bredebræ

Bredebræ, Danish for “Broad Glacier,” is a large glacier in northeastern Greenland at the head of Borg Fjord on the east coast of the Greenland ice sheet. It forms where two major ice streams meet: Storstrømmen from the north and L. Bistrup Bræ from the south. Their confluence creates an unusually broad glacier front that sends great masses of large icebergs into Borg Fjord. These icebergs drift outward in such numbers that they can completely choke the fjord’s entrance with irregular ice. In this remote polar region, Bredebræ stands out as a powerful outlet of the ice sheet, continually delivering ice to the sea and shaping the coastline.
