Kangertittivatsiaq, old spelling Kangerdlugssuatsiak, meaning "The rather large fjord,"[2] is a fjord in Sermersooq, Eastern Greenland.
There are numerous ruins of former relatively large Inuit settlements near the mouth of the fjord. These were first reported by Georg Carl Amdrup at the turn of the 20th century when no Inuit were living in the area anymore.[3]
There are high mountains on both sides of Kangertittivatsiaq. Well-known Ingolf Fjeld rises to a height of 1503m (4,931feet) on the northeastern side of the inner fjord at 66.4167°N -73°W.[6]
