Akuliarusiarsuup Kuua (Danish: Sandflugtdalen) is a river and valley of the same name in the Qeqqata municipality in central-western Greenland.
For most of its run, the river flows very slowly through the sandur basin of the valley,[1] forming meanders amongst large fields of glacial silt quicksand.
[2] Several meltwater outflow streams from the base of the Russell Glacier (67°05′48″N 50°14′50″W / 67.09667°N 50.24722°W / 67.09667; -50.24722) form the Akuliarusiarsuup Kuua river.
From the north it is bounded by a low-lying (300–400m) ridge − part of the Kangaamiut dike swarm − separating it from large glacial lakes of Aajuitsup Tasia and Sanningasoq.
[3] The lower part of the valley narrows down in the gorge between Akuliarusiarsuk ridge in the south and lone-standing Sugar Loaf mountain in the north, forming waterfalls.
