Geography


Torsukattak Fjord is located to the east of Disko Island (Qeqertarsuaq), across the sound. The fjord is oriented in a roughly east–west direction and opens into the Disko Bay of the Baffin Bay. It has a large glacier and a nunatak at its head.
The 520 m high island of Oqaatsoq is on the southern side of the mouth and Qeqertakavsak lies on the southern shore of the fjord 23 km from its mouth. There are several smaller islands and islets south of Qeqertakavsak.
