Geography


The Midgard Glacier is located at the southern limit of Schweizerland. It flows from the Femstjernen in the NE. It feeds the waters of the Ningerti, a branch of Sermilik (Egede og Rothes Fjord), a large fjord system where there are a number of glaciers discharging such as the Helheim Glacier.[2]


This glacier is named after Midgard, one of the Nine Worlds in Norse mythology.
