K.J.V. Steenstrup Glacier

[2] These glaciers were named after Danish geologist and explorer of Greenland K. J. V. Steenstrup (1842 - 1913).

Steenstrup Glaciers originate in a mountainous glaciated area east of Schweizerland.

The two glaciers have their terminus on the east coast of the Greenland ice sheet, in the Denmark Strait roughly 8 km west of Tasiilap Karra (Cape Gustav Holm).

Steenstrup Glacier is by the mouth of the Ikersuaq (Ikertivaq) fjord.

[4] Their faces form impressive walls of ice between 60 and 90 m high.
