Guldfaxe (Danish: Guldfaxe Gletscher[1]) is a glacier of the King Frederick VI Coast area in the Sermersooq municipality, southeastern Greenland.

This glacier is named after Gullfaxi, the golden-maned horse of Norse mythology.

Geography

Guldfaxe is a large, active glacier flowing from the eastern side of the Greenland ice sheet.[2]

The Guldfaxe glacier flows roughly eastward between sharp nunataks and flows into the right side of the Rimfaxe Glacier shortly before its terminus in the Sehested Fjord.[3]
