Wordie Glacier, Glacier in Northeast Greenland National Park, Greenland
The glacier extends approximately 80 kilometers from its source, with multiple branches including Vibeke Glacier and Iris Glacier to the west.
Scottish polar explorer James Wordie received recognition when this glacier was named after him during the 1926-27 expedition led by Lauge Koch.
Scientific research teams conduct extensive studies on ice dynamics and climate patterns, contributing to understanding environmental changes in polar regions.
Access to the glacier requires specialized arctic equipment and careful planning due to its remote location at 74 degrees north latitude.
The glacier features several nunataks, including Faraway How and C. H. Ostenfeld Nunatak, which rise above the surrounding ice surface.
