Napasorsuaq

The Napasorsuaq (Danish: Kirkespiret) is a 1,590m–high mountain in southern Greenland, in the Kujalleq municipality.

Geography

The mountain rises in the mountainous peninsula of the mainland which forms the eastern side of the Southern Sermilik fjord. It is the highest peak of a moderately glaciated mountain chain stretching in a SW/NE direction with summits reaching 1,400 m. The Kirkespirdalen Dal valley, named after the mountain, stretches westwards onto the Saqqa Fjord.

The Napasorsuaq is a popular mountain among climbers because of its firm granite walls, similar to other peaks in the region such as Ketil and Ulamertorsuaq.
