Inglefield Gulf or Inglefield Fjord (Danish: Inglefield Bredning; Greenlandic: Kangerlussuaq) is a fjord in northwestern Greenland. To the west, the fjord opens into the Baffin Bay. Administratively it belongs to the Avannaata municipality.
Qaanaaq is located in the northern entrance of the fjord. The village of Qeqertat is located in the Harvard Islands, in the inner area of the fjord.[1] Both are the northernmost communities in the world.
Geography
Together with Wolstenholme Fjord, Inglefield Gulf is one of the two main indentations in the stretch of coast between Cape York and Cape Alexander.[2] On the northern shore of the fjord there is a branch, the Bowdoin Fjord, and on the southern there are two, the Academy Bay in the inner fjord with the Leidy Glacier at its head and the narrow Olrik Fjord running roughly from east to west.[3]
