Administratively it lies in the Northeast Greenland National Park zone.

Sørensen Land was named during the 1971 Northern Universities expedition after Danish botanist Thorvald Sørensen (1902–1973) who published the botanical research of the Three-year Expedition to East Greenland.

It is bound to the north by Flyver Fjord, a branch of Nordvestfjord, beyond which lies Hinksland.

Nathorst Land lies to the northeast in the opposite shore.

To the west rise the Royston Nunataks,[2] and beyond them the Greenland ice sheet.
