Wordie Bay (Greenland)

Wordie Bay is a section of fjord at the head of the Godthab Gulf. It is located at the terminus of the Wordie Glacier, between Stromtangen and Cape Ruth. There are several nunataks rising above the shore. Cape Ruth is at the southeastern end of Jordanhill, a conspicuous 1,410 metres (4,630 ft) high promontory rising by the shore of the bay on the northern side.^[2] The bay has a width of about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) at the head, widening to almost 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) south of Cape Ruth.^[3]

Besides the great Wordie Glacier in the west, A. Schmidt Glacier, Nippoldt Glacier and Haussman Glacier are small glaciers flowing north into Wordie Bay from the Norlund Alps.^[1] Hudson Land lies to the south and further to the west is Steno Land.^[3]
