King Oscar Fjord (Danish: Kong Oscar Fjord; Kalaallisut; Greenlandic: Kangerluk Kong Oscar) is a fjord in East Greenland, marking the northern border of the Scoresby Land Peninsula.
It was named by A.G. Nathorst on his 1899 expedition as Konung Oscars Fjord for Oscar II, King of Sweden from 1872 to 1907 and of Norway from 1872 until 1905.
King Oscar Fjord is a major fjord system in NE Greenland. The main fjord is 10–25 km wide, bounded by Traill Island and Geographical Society Island in the east. In the inner and northern end of the fjord lies Ella Island. The Davy Sound at the southeastern end connects with the Greenland Sea after extending for about 20 km in a NW/SE direction.[1]
Lyell Land forms the western boundary and Scoresby Land with the Stauning Alps lies to the southwest.[2]
The Antarctic Sound separates the Suess Land Peninsula and Ymer Island and connects with the Kaiser Franz Joseph Fjord system to the north.[3]
Other branches of the King Oscar Fjord system are, on the western side:
