Russell Glacier (Greenland)
Russell Glacier ((デンマーク語:Russells Gletscher)) is a glacier in the Qeqqata municipality in central-western Greenland. It flows from the Greenland ice sheet ((グリーンランド語:Sermersuaq)) in the western direction. The front of the glacier is located east of Kangerlussuaq. It is active, advancing every year, and due to easy approach it remains a popular tourist target.
== Geography ==
The ice sheet outflow ending in Russell Glacier is bounded from the north by the tundra highland of Isunngua and from the south by an exposed, barren, flattened ridge of Akuliarusiarsuk. Several meltwater outflow streams from the base of the glacier form the Akuliarusiarsuup Kuua river, which flows west-south-west towards Kangerlussuaq. The sandur basin of the outflow river forming the valley of the same name ((デンマーク語:Sandflugtdalen)) is very shallow; shallow enough to form quicksand fields several kilometers long.
Directly to the west of the glacier is a large lake, the 2x10km〔 Aajuitsup Tasia. Due to minimal height differential, its waters are not conjoint with the meltwater outflow lake immediately to the west of Russell Glacier.
A sibling, unnamed glacier approximately to the southeast of Russell Glacier is the source to the wide outflow meltwater river of Qinnguata Kuussua. The confluence of the latter and the Akuliarusiarsuup Kuua river flowing from Russell Glacier is located at the eastern outskirts of the Kangerlussuaq settlement near the end of Kangerlussuaq Fjord, and used to be known as Watson River.
