This mountain group was named after Kangerluluk, the fjord flanking the range on the southern side. The area of the range is uninhabited.

Geography

The Kangerluluk Mountains are craggy and steep nunataks, relatively little glaciated in the eastern side and progressively rising less and less above the glaciers further inland until being engulfed by the Greenland ice sheet. The range runs roughly from east to west from Cape Olfert Fischer in the Irminger Sea coast, between Kangerluluk fjord in the south and Igutsaat Fjord in the north.

Peaks

Already 15 km within the fjord there is a 1,291 m (4,236 ft) high peak rising above the waters on the northern side of Kangerluluk. The highest elevation of the range, reaching a height of 2,020 m (6,630 ft), is located at its western end at 61°9′7″N 43°44′51″W.
