[1] The glacier at the inland end of this fjord has been undergoing a well documented recession in recent history.

[3] This fjord attracts climbers, kayakers, and trekkers, and is famous for its mountains and challenging rock faces.

Many mountaineering expeditions[4] have come to Tasermiut Fjord because of the challenge of peaks and the possibility of new climbing routes.

As well as climbing, Tasermiut is used as a starting point for challenging treks to Kangikitsoq, Kangerdluk, Herjofsnaes, and Stordalen Havn.

[5] Tasermiut Fjord can be accessed by short boat journey from Nanortalik, which is the southernmost major settlement in Greenland, with a population of around 1000 people.
