Frederikshåb Glacier, called Sioqqap Sermia in Greenlandic and Frederikshåb Isblink or Frederikshåb Gletscher in Danish, is a glacier on Greenland’s southwest coast in Sermersooq municipality. Flowing from the Greenland ice sheet, it reaches the coast through a low, water-filled margin of ponds and channels that drain into Davis Strait. The nearest major town is Paamiut, about 110 kilometers south, and Frederikshåb is the Danish name for that town. The glacier’s importance lies in its position at the edge of the ice sheet, where inland ice transitions into meltwater and then the sea along Greenland’s outer coast.
