Kejser Franz Joseph Fjord, Arctic fjord in Northeast Greenland National Park, Greenland.
The fjord extends for 100 kilometers westward from Foster Bay, featuring steep cliffs with alternating layers of limestone and dolomite formations.
The Second German North Polar Expedition conducted the first mapping of the fjord between 1869 and 1870, naming it after Emperor Franz Joseph.
The fjord carries three different names across languages: Kejser Franz Josef Fjord in Danish, Kaiser Franz Joseph Fjord in German, and Kangerluk Kejser Franz Joseph in Greenlandic.
Travelers can observe multiple glaciers along the fjord, including the Waltershausen Glacier at Nordfjord and the Nunatak Glacier at Geologfjord.
The Devil's Castle mountain near Cape Petersens displays a distinctive reddish rock formation marked by a light diagonal stripe across its face.
