Skinfaxe (Template:Lang-da[1]) is a glacier of the King Frederick VI Coast in the Sermersooq municipality, southeastern Greenland.

This glacier is named after Skinfaxi, the cosmic horse of Norse mythology.

Geography

Skinfaxe is a large, active glacier located on the eastern side of the Greenland ice sheet.[2]

The Skinfaxe glacier flows roughly southeastward and has its terminus in the Kattertooq fjord shortly after its confluence with the Tjasse Glacier that joins it from the west.[3]
