The village of Qeqertat is located in the Harvard Islands, in the inner area of the fjord.

As they discharge into the fjord all these glaciers are separated by nunataks, the largest of which is the Smithson Range.

[4] In the central area of the fjord the Hubbard Glacier discharges on the northern shore and the Hurlbut Glacier on the southern shore.

They are aligned from east to west, dividing the outer gulf into two sounds, the Murchison Sound to the north beyond Cape Ackland, and the Hvalsund to the south, west of Kangeq.
