Rimfaxe Glacier Sehested Fjord, North Atlantic Ocean |
Guldfaxe ( Danish: Guldfaxe Gletscher [1]) is a glacier of the King Frederick VI Coast area in the Sermersooq municipality, southeastern Greenland.
This glacier is named after Gullfaxi, the golden-maned horse of Norse mythology.
Guldfaxe is a large, active glacier flowing from the eastern side of the Greenland ice sheet. [2]
The Guldfaxe glacier flows roughly eastward between sharp nunataks and flows into the right side of the Rimfaxe Glacier shortly before its terminus in the Sehested Fjord. [3]
