Geography
To the northwest the fjord opens into the Lincoln Sea of the Arctic Ocean.[1] It separates the island of Nares Land, to the west of the fjord, from Freuchen Land to the east. A narrow sound between Nares Land and the mainland connects inner Nordenskiöld Fjord with Victoria Fjord. John Murray Island and Elison Island are located at its northern end off its mouth. [2] Part of the middle and all of the inner fjord are covered by the large Jungerson Glacier.[3]
