Midgard Glacier (Danish: Midgårdsgletscher) is a glacier on the east coast of the Greenland ice sheet.
The Midgard Glacier is located at the southern limit of Schweizerland. It flows from the Femstjernen in the NE. It feeds the waters of the Ningerti, a branch of Sermilik (Egede og Rothes Fjord), a large fjord system where there are a number of glaciers discharging such as the Helheim Glacier.
This glacier is named after Midgard, one of the Nine Worlds in Norse mythology.
