Tunulliarfik fjord

Tunulliarfik fjord extends for 60 kilometers through southern Greenland, with steep mountains rising directly from waters reaching widths of 6.5 kilometers.

The fjord, formerly known as Eriksfjord, played a central role during Norse settlements in Greenland's medieval period, supporting navigation and settlement patterns.

Local communities in Narsarsuaq and Qassiarsuk maintain traditional fishing practices in the fjord waters, connecting present-day activities to centuries of maritime traditions.

Regular ferry services connect settlements along the fjord from spring to autumn, while Narsarsuaq Airport provides year-round access to the region.

The convergence of Qooroq Fjord creates a natural intersection where floating ice from glacial outflow produces varying water patterns throughout the seasons.
