Nuussuaq Peninsula (Upernavik Archipelago)
Nuussuaq Peninsula (old spelling: ''Nûgssuaq'') is a mainland peninsula in northwestern Greenland, located at the northern end of Upernavik Archipelago, approximately to the south of Melville Bay.〔Upernavik Avannarleq, Saga Map, 1:250.000, Tage Schjøtt, 1992〕 It is much smaller than its namesake in western Greenland.
== Geography ==
The base of the peninsula is a nunatak located at , and rising to above the Greenland ice sheet ((グリーンランド語:Sermersuaq)) reaching the sea level to the south and north of the nunatak. The peninsula has a southwest-northwest orientation, jutting into Baffin Bay to the southwest, separating the Nuussuup Kangia fjord in the southeast from the Inussulik Bay in the northwest.〔
The peninsula is narrow, approximately long, and wide, narrowing to a isthmus in several places.〔 It is very mountainous, culminating in two peaks in its central part. The mountain tops at the spine of the peninsula are partially glaciated, with the ''Sermikassaq'' mountain glacier flowing to the north from the highest point.〔
While the small bay near the Nuussuaq settlement provides a sheltered harbour, the remainder of the southeastern coastline is not developed. There are several fjords on the northwestern shore, from ''Qasigialissuaq'' in the southwest, to ''Qasigiassuit'' and much larger ''Kangerluarsuk'' in the northeast.〔 The latter separates the peninsula from Illulissuaq Peninsula, a smaller peninsula branching off Nuussuaq Peninsula west of its base. The only island of any size in Inussulik Bay off the northern coast is the flooded mountain of Illoorfik Island.〔
