There are high mountains rising on both sides of the fjord, becoming especially craggy towards the inner side. One of the most impressive is a dark pyramidal peak in the nunatak at the head of the fjord rising steeply to a height of 1,884 m (6,181 ft) on the southern side above the glacier at 62°30′57″N 43°20′44″W / 62.51583°N 43.34556°W.
6 km to the east in the same nunatak there is a steep mountain with multiple peaks rising to a height of 1,894 m (6,214 ft) at 62°31′20″N 43°13′5″W / 62.52222°N 43.21806°W and at the eastern end there is a massive summit rising to a height of 1,945 m (6,381 ft) above the confluence of the glaciers at 62°31′18″N 43°7′2″W / 62.52167°N 43.11722°W, but the highest is a 2,069 m (6,788 ft) glacier-topped mountain located to the west at 62°32′37″N 43°23′33″W / 62.54361°N 43.39250°W.
