The Remote Peninsula extends northwards into the Baffin Bay from the island's mainland.

It is bounded by Gibbs Fiord and the Stewart Valley in the east, the Baffin Bay in the north, Sam Ford Fiord in the east, and in the south by Walker Arm, the latter fjord's offshoot.

The peninsula is attached to the mainland by a narrow isthmus in the southwest.

Its highest point is Ukpik Peak, a 1,809 m (5,935 ft) high prominent summit.

[5] Other noteworthy geographic features of the peninsula include Cape Come Again (Qaqulluit Nuvua) —its northernmost headland, and Refuge Harbour in the west.
