Ikersuaq (old spelling Ikerssuak), meaning "the great sound" in the Greenlandic language,[2] —also known as Ikertivaq— is a fjord in Sermersooq municipality, southeastern Greenland.[1]

Geography

Ikersuaq is a fjord of the King Christian IX Land coast. It extends in a roughly north–south direction for about 25 km. To the south the fjord opens into the North Atlantic Ocean near Tasiilap Karra (Cape Gustav Holm).[4] The fjord has two main branches: Eastern Tasiisaq (Ostre Tasiisaq), extending 13 km north on the western side of Cape Gustav Holm, and Western Tasiisaq (Vester Tasiisaq) extending 5 km to the SW 10 km from the mouth on the western shore of the fjord.[5] The Northern K.J.V. Steenstrup Glacier has its terminus just south of the promontory at the mouth of the fjord.[1]
