Wolstenholme Fjord (Greenlandic: Uummannap Kangerlua)[1] is a fjord in Avannaata municipality, Northwest Greenland. It is located to the north of the Thule Air Base and adjacent to the abandoned Inuit settlement of Narsaarsuk.
The area was contaminated in 1968 with plutonium and other radioactive elements following a B-52 bomber crash.[2]
