[1] Administratively it belongs to the Northeast Greenland National Park.

It flows roughly northwards from the northeastern limits of the Greenland Ice Sheet between southern Queen Louise Land to the west and Rechnitzer Land to the east.

Drachmann Glacier and the Budolfi Isstrom join it from the west.

Its breadth can reach 18 km (11 mi), slightly bending to the NNE in its last stretch.

The glacier has its terminus in the Borg Fjord through the Bredebræ, near the southern end of Storstrømmen.
