Amarortalik Island is an uninhabited island in Avannaata municipality in northwestern Greenland. The name of the island means "the place of wolves" in the Greenlandic language.[1]
Amarortalik Island is located in the southern part of the Upernavik Archipelago, in the group between Nunavik Peninsula in the south, and Upernavik Icefjord in the north.[2]
In the west, the narrow Torsukattak Strait separates Amarortalik from Akuliaruseq Island. In the north, the small Kangerluarsuk Fjord separates it from Kangerluarsup Nunaa Peninsula, a peninsula branching off to the west from Koch's Land on the mainland of Greenland. Koch's land in turn is separated from Amarortalik by a small, unnamed strait. The long Eqalugaarsuit Sulluat Fjord separates the island from the large Kangeq Peninsula in the south.[2]
Like all larger islands in the neighborhood, Amarortalik Island is very mountainous. The highest point is an unnamed peak of 823m (2,700feet) in the southern part of the island.[2]
The rocks on the island are of Precambrian origin, with Albian-Campanian sediments.[3]
