Geography

The head of the fjord at {{coord|66|00|10|N|52|52|45|W}} is formed by the short Illorlersuaq icefjord flowing from the tidewater Sermitsiaq Glacier draining the Maniitsoq ice cap, now separated from the Greenland ice sheet ({{lang-kl|Sermersuaq}}).^[1] The fjord flows southwestward, opening into Davis Strait, with its mouth dotted with several skerries.^[1]

Settlement

Kangaamiut is the only settlement in the vicinity, located on a small island to the south of the fjord mouth.
