Inglefield Bredning

Inglefield Bredning extends 70 kilometers inland from Baffin Bay, reaching widths of 20 kilometers between steep mountain walls and glacial formations.

Edward Augustus Inglefield mapped and named this fjord during his 19th-century Arctic expeditions, contributing to northern Greenland exploration.

The fjord connects to Qaanaaq, where Inuit communities maintain traditional hunting and fishing practices in these northern waters.

Winter temperatures in the fjord region drop below -30°C, requiring specialized equipment and careful planning for any water activities.

Multiple glaciers, including Heilprin and Tracy, terminate in this fjord, creating a complex system of ice flows and marine interactions.
