Nature
Ukkusissat, also called Ukkusissaq and in Danish Store Malene, is a 772 m mountain in southwestern Greenland near Nuuk. Rising southeast of Nuuk Airport, it forms the end of a long mountain range on a peninsula that projects into Nuup Kangerlua, while Kangerluarsunnguaq Fjord runs along the peninsula’s southern side. This position makes the mountain a prominent landmark in the landscape around Greenland’s capital, marking the terminus of the ridge system between the two fjord waters. Older recorded spellings of its name include Uvkusigssak and Uvkusigssat.
