Kangerluk Fjord

Kangerluk, also known as Kangerluluarak,[2] is a fjord in the King Frederick VI Coast, Kujalleq municipality, southern Greenland.

In Kangerluk there is a small cove at a place named Saqqap Nuua (Serkertnua) where Lieutenant Wilhelm August Graah was detained seventeen days in 1829 during his East Coast expedition owing to the difficult ice and weather conditions to the north.

Several glaciers discharge into the fjord from the Graah Mountains (Graah Fjelde) rising to the west and displaying purple and blue strata.

To the southeast the fjord opens into the North Atlantic Ocean NW of Cape Discord and the island of Iluileq.
