The Glazov Glacier (ru|ледник Глазов; lednik Glazov) is a glacier in Novaya Zemlya, Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia.[1]
The Glazov glacier has retreated between 2km (01miles) and 3km (02miles) 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 5km (03miles) wide fjord located just south of Nordenskiöld Bay in the Barents Sea.[3]
1547m (5,075feet) high Mount Kruzenshtern, the highest point of Novaya Zemlya, rises on the northern side of the head of the Glazov Glacier.[4]
