  Akuliarutsip Sermerssua, also known as Nordenskiöld Glacier, (Danish: Nordenskiöld Gletscher), is a large glacier located on the east coast of Greenland.
  
  ## Geography
  
  This glacier flows into the head of the Kaiser Franz Joseph Fjord, just 7 km (4.3 mi) west of the mouth of Kjerulf Fjord, and marks the southern limit of Fraenkel Land and the northern of Goodenoughland. Petermann Peak, one of the highest mountains in Greenland, and the highest in the area, rises to a height of 2,943 metres (9,656 ft) on a nunatak rising right by the northern side of the fjord.
  
  The Nordenskiöld Glacier flows roughly in a WSW/ENE direction, draining an area of 62,647 km (38,927 mi) of the Greenland Ice Sheet with a flux (quantity of ice moved from the land to the sea) of 10.7 $km^3$ (2.6 cu mi) per year, as measured for 1996.
