Nansen Fjord is a fjord in King Christian IX Land, Eastern Greenland. It is part of the Sermersooq municipality.
This fjord lies in an indented area of the Blosseville Coast where there is a succession of rocky headlands with active glaciers in between. Its mouth lies between Cape J.A.D. Jensen on Sokongen Island to the west and Cape Nansen to the east.[1] Most of the fjord is filled by the Christian IV Glacier at its head.[2]
