note the tongue of Belgrave Gletcher, the northeastern-most contributing glacier, is still discharging despite the pressure of Petermann unlike several of the tributatary glaciers to the south
Place names in the interior are hard to come by -- note Espen's nice earlier compilation on this forum. I am still looking for a proper name for 'Arrowhead Island' at the southwest entrance. Pilespids ø?
Here is a brand new compilation of 733 Greenland glacier names. It comes as an excel table with lat,lon but no accompanying map (!!!) with the glacier names attached. The ones for NW Greenland (listed under Qaanaaq) are extracted below. It would be feasible to load these into Google Earth -- surely this was the job of the authors, not the readers

http://www.the-cryosphere-discuss.net/9/1593/2015/tcd-9-1593-2015.pdfThis site has quite a few obscure Kaps like Schoubye and glaciers like Porsild, all slightly misplaced:
http://mapcarta.com/19187754Espen has also grabbed the very first Landsat-8 of 2015 Petermann. These will soon pile on because of the polar orbit, the azimuth being rather oblique if accustomed to ~180º of Jakobshavn. Long shadows are cast by steep high walls on the upper west end of the channel on much of the Petermann imagery which otherwise can be extraordinarily sharp.
