Bernstorff Glacier ({{langx|da|Bernstorff Gletscher}}, also referred to as A.P. Bernstorf Gletscher), is a glacier in the King Frederick VI Coast, Sermersooq, southeastern Greenland.[https://geohack.toolforge.org/geohack.php?language=sv&pagename=A.P._Bernstorf_Gletscher¶ms=63.83333_N_-41.71667_E_type:waterbody_region:GL Geographical Names - A.P.

Like the fjord, this glacier was named after Danish statesman Andreas Peter Bernstorff.

==Geography==

The Bernstorff Glacier is a fast-flowing glacier originating in the eastern side of the Greenland Ice Sheet.[https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2013AGUFM.C53D..02C/abstract Greenland Ice Sheet Mass Loss and Outlet Glacier Dynamics from Laser Altimetry Record (1993-2013)] It flows roughly south/southeastward and is joined by a branch flowing from the north with the confluence west of Alfheimbjerg. Its terminus is in the Bernstorff Fjord (Kangertittivaq), slightly to the west of the terminus of the Fimbul Glacier and to the north of the Storebjørn Glacier.GoogleEarth Together the Bernstorff and Fimbul glaciers produce massive amounts of ice that blocks the fjord.Prostar Sailing Directions 2005 Greenland and Iceland Enroute, p. 102
