Geography

Nuuluk Island is located in Tasiusaq Bay, in the north-central part of Upernavik Archipelago, on the shores of the inner reaches of Kangerlussuaq Icefjord, which in the northeast separates it from Giesecke Glacier on the mainland of Greenland.[1]

The island is separated from Anarusuk Island in the southeast by a small Ikerasaarsuk channel. The inner waterways of Tasiusaq Bay separate it from Qallunaat Island in the northwest, Saattorsuaq Island in the west, and Aappilattoq Island in the south.[1]

Coastline

The island's highest point is a 390 m (1,280 ft) hill in the southern part of the island. Its coastline is undeveloped, with Iterlissuaq bay the only indentation in the north.[1]
