Henson Gletscher

Henson Glacier (Danish: Henson Gletscher), is one of the major glaciers in northern Greenland. It was named in 1917 for African-American Arctic explorer Matthew Henson by Knud Rasmussen during the Second Thule Expedition to north Greenland. The Henson Gletscher Formation, which preserves trilobites and echinoderm fossils, among others, is named after this glacier.
