Bruckner Glacier (Danish: Brückner Gletscher), is a glacier in eastern Greenland.[1]
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.[2] 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.[3]
Together the Bruckner and Heim glaciers discharge icebergs into the inner part of the fjord.[4]
