Geography
In the south and east, the municipality is flanked by the Sermersooq municipality, although settlements and associated trade is concentrated mainly alongside the coast. In the north, it is bordered by the Qaasuitsup municipality. The waters of the western coast are that of the Davis Strait, separating Greenland from Baffin Island. With the area of 115,500 km2 (44,594.8 sq mi) it is the second-smallest municipality of Greenland after Kujalleq.
