Niviarsiat is a mountain in the Kujalleq municipality, southern Greenland.[2]
This mountain is a 1,300 m high summit with multiple peaks rising to the northeast of the Kiattuut Sermiat glacier.[3]
Niviarsiat is located near the southern end of the Greenland ice sheet and is conspicuous.[4]
Wilhelm August Graah during his 1829 expedition, thought that he could see the Niviarsiat peaks from a hilltop of Griffenfeldt Island in the eastern coast of Greenland:Despite the distance across the ice sheet, other authors regard Graah's conclusion as correct.[5]
