Tasiusaq Island is located in the outer belt of islands in Tasiusaq Bay, in the central part of Upernavik Archipelago. In the northwest, the Ikerasak Strait separates it from Uigorlersuaq Island.

The Simiuttap Ikerasaa strait, with a small skerry in the middle separates Tasiusaq from the mountainous Qaqaarissorsuaq Island in the east. The outer waterways of Tasiusaq Bay separate the island from small skerries and Kangaarsuk Island in the south, from Illunguit Island in the southwest, and from Paagussat Island in the west. [1]
