Review & FAQ:
The Russell Glacier is situated near the town of Kangerlussuaq and moves westerly 82-feet each year. While the glacier is a beautiful natural wonder, it’s also a large producer of methane. Visitors can view the glacier by taking a quick boat trip to it where a tour guide will tell more behind its interesting history and ecology. In addition to this, you might also be able to view reindeer wandering around on the top of it. You can sometimes climb out of the boat and walk around on the top of Russell Glacier, but this depends on the current weather conditions and how quickly the glacier is moving.
