Sullorsuaq Strait Sullorsuaq Strait Sullorsuaq Strait (old spelling: "Suvdlorssuaq", ) is a strait on the western coast of Greenland. The strait separates Nuussuaq Peninsula in the northeast from Qeqertarsuaq Island in the southwest. The strait waterway connects inner Disko Bay in the southeast with Baffin Bay in the northwest. Qeqertarsuatsiaq Island is located in the northeastern mouth of the strait, where it opens into Baffin Bay. At the southeastern end, the large Alluttoq Island is located in the outlet of the strait, at the confluence with Disko Bay. Archaeological excavations in Qilakitsoq on the northeastern shore revealed the existence of an ancient
Disko Island of Qeqertarsuaq. The island is separated from Nuussuaq Peninsula in the northeast by the Sullorsuaq Strait. To the south of the island lies Disko Bay, an inlet bay of Baffin Island. Eric the Red paid the first recorded visit to Disko Island at some time between 982 and 985; the island was used as a base for summer hunting and fishing by Viking colonists. Mineral deposits, fossil finds and geological formations add to interest in the area. One of the interesting geological features is the native iron found at the island.
