Ketil

Ketil, called Uiluit Qaqqaa or “Shell Mountain” in Greenlandic, is a 2,010-metre peak in southern Greenland above Tasermiut Fjord in the Kujalleq area. On the peninsula along the fjord’s eastern side, it stands with Nalumasortoq and Ulamertorsuaq as a notable trio of mostly unglaciated rock peaks. Ketil is especially distinguished by its bare granite mass and its immense western face, a sheer wall rising more than 1,000 metres. Widely known among climbers, it has become one of Greenland’s major big-wall objectives and one of the defining mountains of the Tasermiut region and southern Greenland’s climbing landscape.
