Kangerluaraq, [1] old spelling Kangerdluaraq, is a fjord in the King Frederick VI Coast, Kujalleq municipality, southern Greenland. [2]
Kangerluaraq is a narrow fjord lying between the Kuutseq to the north and the Nattoralik and Nanuuseq fjords to the south. It extends in a roughly east–west direction from its mouth in the North Atlantic Ocean for about 24 km until its head. Its entrance is on the northern side of Cape Walløe (Kangersivasik). [3]
In the same manner as in the fjords further north, dark-hued mountains rise steeply from the shore on both sides. However, there are no glaciers reaching down to the waterline in Kangerluaraq, the fjord ending in a steep and narrow valley at its western end. [4]
