This long and very deep fjord is the northernmost arm of the Scoresby Sound. It is mostly surrounded by high mountains, whose sides rise steeply from its shore. Part of its northern flank marks the southern boundary of
Nathorst Land and the
Stauning Alps. To the northeast the fjord is bound by
Scoresby Land, to the northwest by
Charcot Land, and to the southwest by
Hinksland,
Th. Sørensen Land and
Renland. The mouth is located close to the mouth of
Ofjord, between the
Bjorne Islands to the southwest and South Cape (Sydkap) to the northeast, beyond which lies Northeast Bay
(Nordøstbugt).
