Administratively this glacier is part of the Sermersooq Municipality.[2] The area surrounding Christian IV Glacier is uninhabited. GeographyThe Christian IV Glacier is a non-surge type valley glacier that does not drain the ice sheet directly, but flows partly from it across the mountainous areas of the Gronau Nunataks through the Gronau Glacier and the Grønlands Styrelse Glacier tributaries.[3] Further south it separates the Lindbergh Range in the west from the Watkins Range in the east, flowing in a roughly north/south direction[1] until its terminus at the head of the Nansen Fjord in the East Greenland coast.[4] This fast-flowing glacier is similar in structure to the neighbouring Kronborg Glacier and comparable in approximate length and width to the Beardmore Glacier in Antarctica.[5] See also
