It is one of the longest fjords in the world, measuring about 150 kilometers in length, and is considered one of the most beautiful places in Greenland.

The fjord is located between the Uummannaq and Upernavik Islands, and is bordered by the Greenland Ice Sheet to the north. It is home to a variety of unique wildlife, including musk oxen, polar bears, and various species of whales, seals, and seabirds. The fjord is also home to a number of small villages, including Uummannaq, which is the largest settlement in the region.
