To the northwest, the fjord opens into the Lincoln Sea of the Arctic Ocean.

The fjord is named after Austro-Hungarian Arctic explorer Karl Weyprecht.

It opens to the northwest east of Hazenland and to the west of Lockwood Island with the Conger Sound branching east of the island separating it from Roosevelt Land.

It forms the northern limit of Amundsen Land to the southeast and at its head is a valley running eastwards north of which rises the Roosevelt Range.

The sea in the area is almost permanently covered by ice.
