Ikertooq Fjord

The upper part of the fjord, a confluence of three tributary inlets at approximately 66°53′20″N 52°32′00″W / 66.88889°N 52.53333°W / 66.88889; -52.53333 is called Suluppaavarsiorfik (old spelling: Sulugpâvarsiorfik).

[1][2] The tributary bays, from south to north, are: Avalleq, Akulleq (the innermost, main arm at approximately 66°55′50″N 52°16′00″W / 66.93056°N 52.26667°W / 66.93056; -52.26667), and Maligiaq.

Itinneq, an outflow river from the large, latitudinal Tasersuaq lake, empties into the northern inlet.

[1] The fjord initially flows westward, to then turn west-south-west between the mainland peninsula in the south, and Sarfannguit Island in the north, widening considerably at its mouth at approximately 66°46′N 53°27′W / 66.767°N 53.450°W / 66.767; -53.450, where it empties into Davis Strait.

The range flattens considerably towards the east in the area of Kangaamiut dike swarm north of Kangerlussuaq, due to pressure exerted by the icesheet for long periods in the past.
