Geography
Ikersuaq is a fjord of the King Christian IX Land coast. It extends in a roughly north–south direction for about 25 km. To the south the fjord opens into the North Atlantic Ocean near Tasiilap Karra (Cape Gustav Holm). The fjord has two main branches: Eastern Tasiisaq (Ostre Tasiisaq), extending 13 km north on the western side of Cape Gustav Holm, and Western Tasiisaq (Vester Tasiisaq) extending 5 km to the SW 10 km from the mouth on the western shore of the fjord. The Northern K.J.V. Steenstrup Glacier has its terminus just south of the promontory at the mouth of the fjord.
