Location within Greenland

Kangerluarsunnguaq Fjord (Danish: Kobbefjord) is a small fjord in the Sermersooq municipality in southwestern Greenland. "Nuuk Basic", a research station, erected in 2008, is located on the fjord shores.[1][2]

Geography

The fjord is located approximately 9 km (5.6 mi) east-south-east of Nuuk, the capital of Greenland. It splits the western tip of a peninsula off the mainland of Greenland into two, emptying into Nuup Kangerlua to the southeast of Nuuk, and to the south of the Ukkusissat mountain.

The 132 kV-powerline from Buksefjord Hydroelectric Power Plant to Nuuk crosses Kangerluarsunnguaq Fjord with a 1912 metres long span with a clearance of 63.4 metres.
