Nioghalvfjerdsbrae

Nioghalvfjerdsbrae extends across the northeastern region of Greenland, featuring vast fields of ice that form a substantial part of the Greenland ice sheet.

The glacier serves as a natural archive of climate data, containing layers of compressed snow and ice that document centuries of environmental changes in Greenland.

Scientific research stations near the glacier facilitate international cooperation among researchers who study Arctic environments and glacial movements throughout the year.

Access to the glacier requires specialized transportation arrangements through authorized operators, with visits primarily conducted during the summer months from June to September.

The glacier produces large quantities of icebergs that move into the surrounding waters, contributing significantly to the regional marine ecosystem and water circulation patterns.
