Geography

Ateqanngitsorsuaq Island is located in the outer belt of islands in Tasiusaq Bay, in the south-central part of Upernavik Archipelago. In the south, it is separated from sibling Innaarsuit Island by a very narrow channel. Unlike the latter, it is mountainous, with the highest point reaching 516 m (1,693 ft) in an unnamed summit in the center of the island.[1]

The inner waterways of Tasiusaq Bay separate it from Qaqaarissorsuaq Island in the northeast. Several skerries buffer the eastern coast of the island.[1]
