The Greenlandic name Nertivit Kangersivat is being used in present-day maps, although originally the fjord was known as Oqqummut Kangertiva.[2]
Geography
In the southern Scoresby Sound, between Cape Leslie in Milne Land to the north and Cape Stevenson to the south, there are the mouths of two fjords that go in a roughly southwestern direction. The northern branch is the Fonfjord(Fønfjord) and the southern is the much wider mouth of the Gaasefjord. Gåseland is the peninsula that lies between these two fjords.[3]
