Geography

The Fridtjof Nansen Peninsula is limited to the northeast by a strait across which lie the Søren Norby Islands, beyond which lies the bay of Pikiulleq. To the southeast it is bound by the Irminger Sea and to the southwest by Umivik Bay, with two large islands, Upernattivik (Upernarsuak) and Trefoldigheden off the shore.
