Bowdoin Glacier (Danish: Bowdoin Gletscher or Bowdoin Brae), is a glacier in northwestern Greenland.[2] Administratively it belongs to the Avannaata municipality.
Like the fjord further south, this glacier was named by Robert Peary after Bowdoin College. He described the glacier as follows:
Beyond that, an isolated mountain of striking boldness and sharpness of outline jutted into the air apparently some two thousand feet, and then, from its base, the crystal wall of a great glacier stretched clear across the opposite side of the bay head. This glacier I named, in honour of my Alma Mater, Bowdoin Glacier, and the bay I called Bowdoin Bay.[3]
