context_page_description: Nioghalvfjerdsbrae, sometimes referred to as "79 N Glacier", is a large glacier located in King Frederick VIII Land, northeastern Greenland. It drains an area of 103,314 km² of the Greenland Ice Sheet with a flux of 14.3 km³ per year, as measured for 1996.
context_section_description: The terminus of the glacier is in the Nioghalvfjerd Fjord, south of the Dijmphna Sound. The fjord and the glacier form the southern limit of Crown Prince Christian Land.
  The glacier has had an 80 km long and 20 km wide floating tongue, widening toward its terminus north of Lambert Land.  There are two calving fronts where the glacier meets the ocean, separated by Hovgaard Island.
