The long Eqalugaarsuit Sulluat Fjord separates the island from the large Kangeq Peninsula in the south. The southern coastline is indented by a small Puugutaata Ilua bay branching off the fjord. It is the only indentation in the otherwise undeveloped coastline of the island.[1]
Topography
Like all larger islands in the neighborhood, Akuliaruseq Island is very mountainous. The highest point is an unnamed peak of 720 m (2,360 ft) in the western part of the island.[1] Apart from the coastal lowland isthmus in the southeast, the majority of the island is occupied by a single, flooded mountain. Another previously flooded mountain, Puugutaa, culminating in a 550 m (1,800 ft) peak is located on the other side of the low isthmus.[1]
