The Glazov Glacier ( Russian: ледник Глазов; lednik Glazov) is a glacier in Novaya Zemlya, Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia. [1]
The Glazov glacier has retreated between 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) and 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) in recent years. Two new islands and two headlands have been exposed in the area of the mouth of the fjord as a result. [2]
The Glazov Glacier is located on the western side of northern Severny Island of Novaya Zemlya. It is a tidewater glacier flowing from the Severny Island ice cap in a roughly southeast–northwest direction. Its terminus is at Glazov Bay, a 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) wide fjord located just south of Nordenskiöld Bay in the Barents Sea. [3]
1,547 metres (5,075 ft) high Mount Kruzenshtern, the highest point of Novaya Zemlya, rises on the northern side of the head of the Glazov Glacier. [4]
