Godthab Gulf lies southwest of Clavering Island and north of Cape Stosch and the northern coastline of Hold with Hope. It is only 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) wide at the entrance, but it widens to almost 20 kilometres (12 mi) towards its head.[2]
To the east lie the Finsch Islands, where the fjord widens and becomes Gael Hamke Bay. Loch Fyne fjord has its mouth in the southern and the Copeland Fjord in the northern shore, with Payer Land to the northwest. The Wordie Glacier has its terminus in Wordie Bay, a small bay at the head of the fjord. A. Schmidt Glacier, Nippoldt Glacier and Haussman Glacier are small glaciers flowing north into Wordie Bay from the Norlund Alps.
Hudson Land lies to the southwest and further to the west is Steno Land.[3]
