Bruckner Glacier (Danish: Brückner Gletscher), is a glacier in eastern Greenland.
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. 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.
Together the Bruckner and Heim glaciers discharge icebergs into the inner part of the fjord.
