To East Greenlnd's Ice Front

A journey to East Greenland's 11km wide Waltershausen Glacier front. The glacier lies at the head of Nord Fjord, off Kaiser Franz Joseph Fjord in the Northeast Greenland National Park. It is a major outlet glacier for the Northeast Greenland ice sheet. The glacier was named by the German Arctic explorer Karl Koldewey, who explored the coast between 73° and 77° north in 1869 - 1870, while looking for a route to the Noth Pole. Waltershausen Glacier was sycophantically named, as was the custom then, after Baron Wolfgang Sartorious Waltershausen.
