The fjord has a north-to-south orientation in its northern part, to then turn midway to the south-west …Ammassalik Fjord is a 41 km long fjord in the Sermersooq municipality in southeastern Greenland. The head of the fjord at 65°58′N 37°06′W / 65.967°N 37.100°W is formed by the confluence of two narrow, tributary fjords: Qingertivaq Fjord and Tasiilaq Fjord. The fjord has a north-to-south orientation in its northern part, to then turn midway to the south-west-south at approximately 65°50′N 37°03′W / 65.833°N 37.050°W. While the shores of the northern part separate peninsulas of the mainland of Greenland, the southern, progressively wider half of the fjord separates the large Ammassalik Island in the west from islands of the eponymous Ammassalik Archipelago in the east and southeast, including the largest, Apusiaajik Island.
