Bruckner Glacier

Glacier on Greenland

Bruckner Glacier (Danish: Brückner Gletscher), is a glacier in eastern Greenland.^[1]

Geography

The Bruckner Glacier originates in the Eastern side of the Greenland Ice Sheet. It flows eastward about 6 km (3.7 mi) to the south of the Heim Glacier.^[2] It has its terminus in the eastern side of the head of Johan Petersen Fjord separated by nunataks from the terminus of the Heim Glacier.^[3]

Together the Bruckner and Heim glaciers discharge icebergs into the inner part of the fjord.^[4]
