Nordenskiold Glacier (Danish: Nordenskiöld Gletscher), is a large glacier in the Avannaata Municipality, on the northwestern coast of Greenland.

Geography

This glacier is located in the Lauge Koch Coast of Melville Bay, north of the Upernavik Archipelago. It drains the Greenland ice sheet (Greenlandic: Sermersuaq) and flows southwestwards between the King Oscar Glacier to the northwest and the Sverdrup Glacier to the southeast.
