Oqaatsut
Oqaatsut (old spelling: ''Oqaitsut''), formerly Rodebay, is a settlement in the Qaasuitsup municipality, in western Greenland. It had 46 inhabitants in 2010.〔(Statistics Greenland ) 〕 The modern name of the settlement is Kalaallisut for "Cormorants". The village is served by the communal all-purpose Pisiffik store.
==Geography==
The settlement is located on a small peninsula jutting off the mainland into eastern Disko Bay ((グリーンランド語:Qeqertarsuup Tunua)), 22.5 km〔(Sermitsiaq )〕 north of Ilulissat. The settlement itself faces the shore of the small Akuliarusinnguaq bay, bounded to the north by Qeqertaq island, one of several islands with that name − 'qeqertaq' means 'island' in Greenlandic.
Further to the east, the Paakitsup Nunaa highland on the mainland separates the area from Sikuiuitsoq Fjord. Sermeq Avannarleq,〔 a glacier flowing from the Greenland ice sheet empties into the fjord approximately 22 km east of Oqaatsut. Paakitsup Nunaa gives way to a marshy lowland in the south, with several lakes, the largest of which are Qoortusuup Tasia, Kuuttaap Tasia, and Kangerluarsuup Tasia Qalleq.〔〔
Further south, the highlands of Iviangernarsuit and Akinnaq due east of Ilulissat Airport〔 are split by the Uujuup Kuua river valley. To the north, the waters of Disko Bay channel into the Sullorsuaq Strait between the large Alluttoq Island and Disko Island ((グリーンランド語:Qeqertarsuaq)).〔Qeqertarsuup Tunua, Saga Map, 1:250.000, Tage Schjøtt, 1992〕
