Torsukattak Fjord (Disko Bay) south of Qeqertakavsak. Torsukattak Fjord (Disko Bay) Torsukattak is a fjord in western Greenland. Administratively it is part of the Qaasuitsup municipality. Torsukattak Fjord is located to the east of Disko Island (Qeqertarsuaq), across the sound. The fjord is oriented in a roughly east/west direction and opens into the Disko Bay of the Baffin Bay. It has a large glacier and a nunatak at its head. The 520 m high island of Oqaatsoq is on the southern side of the mouth and Qeqertakavsak lies on the southern shore of the fjord 23 km from its mouth. There are several smaller
Davis Strait Davis Strait is underlain by complex geological features of buried grabens (basins) and ridges, probably formed by strike-slip faulting during Paleogene times about 45 million to 62 million years ago. The strike-slip faulting transferred plate-tectonic motions in the Labrador Sea to Baffin Bay. It is the world's broadest strait. With a water depth of between one and two thousand meters the strait is substantially shallower than the Labrador Sea to the south or Baffin Bay to the north. The strait is famous for its fierce tides that can range from , which discouraged many earlier explorers. US Geological Survey has
