Nuup Kangerlua, Arctic fjord in Sermersooq, Greenland.

The Nuup Kangerlua stretches 160 kilometers inland from the Labrador Sea, featuring three mountainous islands and multiple branching waterways.

The fjord served as a vital maritime route for Norse settlements during the Middle Ages, connecting inland territories to the sea through its natural channels.

The settlement of Kapisillit, located 75 kilometers northeast of Nuuk, maintains traditional Greenlandic fishing practices within the fjord's waters.

Boat tours depart from Nuuk throughout the year, offering opportunities to observe glaciers, icebergs, and marine wildlife in the fjord system.

The fjord begins as an icefjord where two glaciers from the Greenland ice sheet flow into its waters, creating a dynamic landscape of ice formations.
