Anarusuk Island is an uninhabited island in the Qaasuitsup municipality in northwestern Greenland.
Geography
Anarusuk Island is located in Tasiusaq Bay, in the north-central part of Upernavik Archipelago, on the shores of the inner reaches of Kangerlussuaq Icefjord, which in the northeast separates it from Giesecke Glacier on the mainland of Greenland.[1]
The island is separated from Nuuluk Island in the northwest by a small Ikerasaarsuk channel, from Aappilattoq Island in the west by a small channel of the same name, and by the inner waterways of Tasiusaq Bay from Aukarnersuaq Island in the southeast and Qaqaarissorsuaq Island in the south.[1]
Coastline
The coastline of the island is developed, with many inlets indenting the coastline in the west.[1]
