Hagen Fjord is a fjord in north-eastern Greenland. It was named after Niels Peter Høeg Hagen, the cartographer of the main exploration team of the ill-fated Denmark expedition.

Geography

[edit]

It opens into the southern shore of the Independence Fjord at its northern end, between J.C. Christensen Land to the west and Mylius-Erichsen Land to the east, near the confluence of Denmark Sound and Independence Fjord.[1] The Hagen Glacier has its terminus at the head of the fjord.
