Kangerlussuaq Fjord (Greenlandic: Kangerlussuaq, meaning 'large fjord'; Danish: Stor Fjord) is a fjord in eastern Greenland. It is part of the Sermersooq municipality.
The fjord was named by the East-Greenland Coast Expedition led by Georg Carl Amdrup in 1900. Currently drilling explorations are being carried out for the possible exploitation of gold, palladium and platinum in the Kangerlussuaq area.[1]
