Skaer Fjord (Danish: Skærfjorden, meaning "Reef Fjord"),[2] is a fjord in King Frederick VIII Land, northeastern Greenland.
Skaerfjorden was named by the 1906-1908 Denmark expedition, which named it thus owing to the numerous reefs and skerries in it. It had also been known as Baie d'Orleans.[3]
There are remains of Inuit sites near the mouth of the fjord.
Skaer Fjord is located north of Danmarkshavn in the northern shore of Germanialand, with its mouth between Kajkap in the south and Cape Amelie in the north, southwest of Île-de-France's southern end. It is an irregular and broad fjord or bay with several arms extending westwards from it:[4]
All these fjords are roughly parallel, the northernmost ones running in a WNW/ESE direction. The southernmost one runs roughly from east to west for about 20 km.
