Moore Glacier

Moore Glacier is a large valley glacier in northern Greenland’s remote Peary Land, within Northeast Greenland National Park. Lying among the easternmost subranges of the Roosevelt Range, it flows northwest between the H. H. Benedict Range and Bertelsen Glacier to the ice-choked southeastern shore of Bliss Bay. Above its left side stands Stjernebannertinde, the highest peak of the H. H. Benedict Range. Robert Peary named the glacier for Charles Moore, who helped secure continued support for Peary’s polar expeditions despite U.S. Navy opposition. The glacier is tied to the mapping era of Arctic exploration and has also supported modern scientific work, including an automatic weather station from 2006 to 2010.
