 The waters flowing around the western coastline of the municipality are that of Labrador Sea, which to the north narrows down to form Davis Strait separating the island of Greenland from Baffin Island.In the northwest, the municipality is bordered by the Qeqqata municipality, and further north by the Qeqertalik and Avannaata municipalities.The latter two borders however run north-south through the center (45° West meridian) of the Greenland ice sheet () − and as such are free of traffic.
