Ikerasak Fjord

[1] The fjord is filled with ice calved off from the active Store Gletscher, which empties into the fjord at its innermost end, and which flows from the Greenland ice sheet (Greenlandic: Sermersuaq).

[2][3] Lille Gletscher is another glacial tongue, emptying into Qaraasaap Imaa.

In the south–north, several rivers flow from Nuussuaq Peninsula into Ikerasak Fjord, the larger being Puiaqtukassaup Kuua and Kuussuaq.

The trail begins at Kuussuup Nuua at the estuary of the river on the shore of the fjord, leading south through the only unglaciated part of the inner mountain range on the peninsula.

[3] Ikerasak Heliport served by Air Greenland is the only aerodrome in the area, with connections to Uummmannaq and Saattut.
