Midgard Glacier (Danish: Midgårdsgletscher) is a glacier on the east coast of the Greenland ice sheet.[1]
Geography
The Midgard Glacier flows from the Femstjernen in the NE. It feeds the waters of the Ningerti, a branch of Sermilik (Egede og Rothes Fjord), a large fjord system where there are a number of glaciers discharging such as the Helheim Glacier.[2]
This glacier is named after Midgard, one of the Nine Worlds in Norse mythology.
