Tarajornitsut

Tarajornitsut is an uninhabited tundra highland in central-western Greenland north of Kangerlussuaq Fjord, a broad upland of barren hills, shallow valleys, wetlands, and many lakes rather than a single mountain. Shaped in part by past pressure from the Greenland ice sheet, it supports important wildlife habitat, with lakes and depressions used by migrating birds and northern areas serving as a major reindeer calving ground. The region is dry, polar continental country and also preserves remains from the time of Sondrestrom Air Base along its southern edge. Its western reaches carry the Polar Route and part of the Arctic Circle Race.
