Qeqertalik (in Kalaallisut; Greenlandic pronounced as /qɜqɜtːalik/, da|Område med øer|lit=Area with islands) is a municipality of Greenland created in 2018 from four southern regions of the former Qaasuitsup Municipality. It is the least populated municipality at a population of 6,340, despite this it is the 2nd most densely populated municipality with 0.11 people per square kilometer.[2]
Qeqertalik Municipality is flanked in the south by the Qeqqata municipality and in the northeast by Avannaata. Over the ice cap, it is bordered in the east by the Sermersooq municipality, however this border runs north–south (45° West meridian) through the center of the Greenland ice sheet (kl|Sermersuaq), and as such is free of traffic.
Communities of Qeqertalik encircle Disko Bay, an inlet of the larger Baffin Bay, while the northeastern shores and Nuussuaq Peninsula belong to the neighboring municipality of Avannaata.
Qeqertalik's municipal council consists of 15 members, elected every four years.[3]
