Kitsissut (old spelling Kitsigsut) is an island group in the Kujalleq municipality in southern Greenland.

Geography

Kitsissut is an island chain located about 60 kilometres (37 miles) to the WNW of Cape Farewell and 15 km to the south-southeast of Cape Egede 5 km from the shore. It is a cluster of numerous small islets and rocks, with a length of less than 30 km and a width of 8 km, divided into two subgroups: Northern Kitsissut (Danish: Nordlige Kitsissut) in the northwest and the smaller Southern Kitsissut (Danish: Sydlige Kitsissut) in the southeast.[1]

Angissoq is the largest island, with a length of 3.7 km and a width of 3 km. It is also the highest island with a peak in its centre on which a beacon stands.[2]
