Borgjokel, glacier in Greenland
Borgjokel is a glacier located in Queen Louise Land in the northeastern part of Greenland. It forms part of an extensive network of ice formations that shape the Arctic landscape in this remote region.
The glacier was named during the Denmark Expedition from 1906 to 1908, which conducted the first mapping surveys of unexplored northeastern Greenland. These early explorations established the foundation for understanding the geography of this extreme region.
Visiting Borgjokel requires special permits and arrangements through local authorities. Expect extreme weather conditions and limited accessibility, particularly outside the brief summer season.
The glacier sits within the world's largest national park, where researchers document changes in ice masses over time. These long-term observations help understand how climate shifts affect one of Earth's most remote and least populated areas.
