Nordvestfjord, Fjord system in Sermersooq, Greenland.
The Nordvestfjord extends for 150 kilometers in length and 6 kilometers in width, reaching depths of 1,500 meters within eastern Greenland.
Carl Ryder named and explored this fjord during his 1891-92 expedition, facing difficulties with ice formation and strong winds in September.
The Indigenous Greenlandic people name this water system Kangertertivarmît Kangertivat, using it as a traditional route for hunting and fishing activities.
The fjord remains inaccessible to regular transportation, requiring specialized vessels to navigate through its waters due to floating icebergs and weather conditions.
The Daugaard-Jensen Glacier at the fjord's head continuously releases icebergs into the waters, creating a dynamic marine environment.
