Kangerluarsuk Fjord
Kangerluarsuk Fjord (Upernavik Archipelago)
Kangerluarsuk Fjord (old spelling: Kangerdluarssuk) is a fjord in northwestern Greenland, located at the northern end of Upernavik Archipelago.[1]
Geography
The fjord is an inner inlet of Inussulik Bay, located in its southeastern corner. It separates Illulissuaq Peninsula in the north from Nuussuaq Peninsula in the southeast.[1] The fjord nearly splits Illulissuaq Peninsula into two halves, with the western half separated from the nunatak in the east by a low, narrow isthmus. The western half of the peninsula forks into two, with a small rocky child Paattorfik Peninsula, pointing southwestwards and bounding Kangerluarsuk from the northwest.[1]
