Napasorsuaq

Nature
Napasorsuaq, known in Danish as Kirkespiret, is a 1,590-metre mountain in southern Greenland on the peninsula forming the eastern side of Southern Sermilik fjord. Rising from a rugged landscape of rock, ice, and sharply carved waterways, it is the highest peak in a moderately glaciated southwest-to-northeast chain whose other summits reach about 1,400 metres. The valley called Kirkespirdalen extends west toward Saqqa Fjord, connecting the mountain to the surrounding fjord country. Napasorsuaq is especially valued by climbers for its firm granite walls, which place it among southern Greenland’s notable big-wall climbing mountains alongside regional granite peaks such as Ketil and Ulamertorsuaq.
