Ikerasaa Strait

The strait separates Kiatassuaq Island in the north from the mainland Sanningassorsuaq Peninsula in the south.

[1] The name of the strait is the local dialect version of ikerasak, a generic word for 'strait' in the Greenlandic language.

In the northwest, the strait splits into two channels, with the small Milissua Island straddling the middle.

The northern channel is very narrow, and both channels often choked with icebergs from the Greenland ice sheet (Greenlandic: Sermersuaq) reaching the waterline at the east end of the strait, and the confluence with Alison Bay.

The southern coast of the strait is undeveloped, formed by the Sanningassorsuaq Peninsula, and the nunatak at its root.
