Palasip Qaqqaa

Palasip Qaqqaa (Danish: Præstefjeldet) is a 544-metre-high (1,785 ft)[1] mountain in the Qeqqata municipality in western Greenland.

It is located on the mainland of Greenland on the coast of Davis Strait, immediately to the north of Sisimiut Airport.

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.

Past the southern pillar falling directly from the summit, the wall gradually peters out into a progressively less steep rocky and grassy slope.

[1] The main summit is often visited[2] for its long-range view of the coast, through a winding path from the south.

View to the south from the main summit: the road to Sisimiut Airport , Kangerluarsunnguaq Bay , Sisimiut , Nasaasaaq , Amerloq Fjord, Maniitsorsuaq Island, Uummannaarsuk, Ikertooq Fjord, Itilleq , and Paornaqussuit Qavat, the glaciated mountain range bounding Kangerlussuaq Fjord from the northwest.
