Geography

Kitsissut is an island chain located about 60 kilometres (37 miles) to the west-northwest of Cape Farewell and 15 km to the south-southeast of Cape Egede 5 km from the shore. It is a cluster of numerous small islets and rocks, with a length of less than 30 km and a width of 8 km, divided into two subgroups: Northern Kitsissut (Danish: Nordlige Kitsissut) in the northwest and the smaller Southern Kitsissut (Danish: Sydlige Kitsissut) in the southeast.[1][2]

Angissoq is the largest island, with a length of 3.7 km and a width of 3 km. It is also the highest island with a peak in its centre on which a beacon stands.[3]
