Lindhard Island (Danish: Lindhard Ø)[1] is an uninhabited island of NE Greenland.
Geography
The island lies at the western edge of the Dove Bay, east of the Bredebrae, the broad glacier producing masses of large icebergs at the head of Borge Fjord to the north of the island. The Bredebrae is formed by the confluence of two large glaciers, the Storstrommen flowing from the north and the L. Bistrup Brae from the south.[2]
The narrow Kavaler Fjord (76°32´N 22°00´W). in the northern part of the island almost divides Lindhard Island in two. The island has an area of 263.3 km ² and a shoreline of 115.5 kilometres.[3]
