Kangerlussuaq Fjord, Deep fjord in Qeqqata, Greenland.

The fjord extends 190 kilometers through western Greenland, with width variations between 1.5 and 8 kilometers toward the Davis Strait.

The fjord region contains archaeological evidence of Inuit settlements dating back several centuries, when communities relied on marine resources for survival.

The waters and shores of Kangerlussuaq Fjord maintain traditional fishing practices among local communities, preserving methods passed through generations.

The fjord remains accessible throughout the year via Kangerlussuaq Airport, which serves as the main gateway for travelers exploring western Greenland.

The emerald waters of Kangerlussuaq Fjord receive sediments from the Greenland ice sheet through the Qinnguata Kuussua river system.
