Napasorsuaq Fjord or Napasorsuup Kangerlua[1] (also known as 'Napassorssuaq Fjord') is a fjord of the King Frederick VI Coast in the Sermersooq municipality, southeastern Greenland.
Geography
To the east the fjord opens into the North Atlantic Ocean. At its head there are three large glaciers.[2] The southern end of its mouth is at a point 16 km north of the island of Qulleq. The northern side of the entrance is Cape Daniel Rantzau,[3] the SE headland of an irregularly-shaped coastal island located on the northern side of the mouth of the fjord[4] —on the same island on which the Cape Cort Adelaer weather station stood.[5]
