Kitak is an island in the Sermersooq municipality in southeastern Greenland.
In 1961 the German weather ship WBS 11 Hessen was renamed 'Kitak'.[1]
The island is located on the western side of the entrance of the Sermilik Fjord.There is a sheltered bay in the NW side of Kitak that is reportedly a good anchorage for ocean-going vessels.[2] The island is 10.20NaN0 long with maximum width of 4.30NaN0.[3]
Kitak is the largest and easternmost island of a compact cluster of coastal islands, islets and rocks extending for 14 km from the easternmost point of Kitak to the 51 m high islet of Igssalik in the west; 2.20NaN0 long Orssuiagssuaq, where formerly a LORAN station was located, is the southernmost island. The archipelago is separated from the mainland by narrow sounds, one of which is named 'Ikasartik'. The Suunikajik island cluster is located 4 km to the west.[4]
The nearest inhabited settlement is Tasiilaq, the most populous community on the eastern coast and the seventh-largest town in Greenland, located on Ammassalik Island on the other side of the fjord about 40 km to the east-northeast.
