This glacier is named after Midgard, one of the Nine WorldsinNorse mythology.
The Midgard Glacier is located on the eastern side of the Greenland ice sheet, at the southern limit of Schweizerland. It flows from the Femstjernen in the NE, just east of the Fenris Glacier. Its terminus is in the Ningerti, one of the northernmost branches of Sermilik (Egede og Rothes Fjord), a large fjord system where there are a number of other glaciers discharging such as the Helheim Glacier.[2]
