Orsugissap Qaqqarsua (old spelling: Orssugissap Qaqqarssua) is a nunatak (Kalaallisut: nunataq) of the Greenland ice sheet in the Qaasuitsup municipality in northwestern Greenland.

Geography

Orsugissap Qaqqarsua (800 m (2,600 ft)) is located on the mainland of Greenland in the northern part of Upernavik Archipelago. Due to the glacial retreat, it is now conjoint in the north with Anoritooq, a 1,108 m (3,635 ft) nunatak.[1] To the west and south, the nunatak is surrounded by the waters of Sugar Loaf Bay, and its innermost inlets, the largest of which is Niaqornarsuup Iterlaa in the south.
