This glacier is named after Garm, the mythical dog that guards Hel's gate in Norse mythology.

Geography

Garm is located on the eastern side of the Greenland ice sheet.

In its last stretch the Garm glacier flows eastward and splits into two branches, one continuing eastwards into the head of the Sikuijuitsoq, a branch of the Sehested Fjord (Uummannap Kangertiva) and the other bending southwards with its terminus in the Ernineq Fjord at the northern end of the Timmiarmiut Fjord system.
