Geography
The mountain rises not far from Nanortalik, in the mountainous peninsula of the mainland which forms the eastern side of the Tasermiut Fjord.[3]
The Nalumasortoq closes an east-facing valley that lies between the Ulamertorsuaq and Ketil 60°24′59″N 44°30′44″W mountain peaks and with its 2,045 m it is the tallest peak of the group. It is very little glaciated owing to its steep walls. Only below 1,600 m there are glaciers in the east, NW and SW. Its massive western wall is especially popular among mountain climbers.[4][5]
