бег] -sound [Lambeyjar, Lambeyjarsund]. And it is called “Lamböer” 
sound because it lies between “Lamböö and Langüe”. Nearer to Erics- 
ford lies another sound called “Fossasund”. The islands mentioned belong 
to the cathedral, and the Fossasund lies at the entrance to Eriesfiord. 
North of Ericsfiord lay two creeks called “ Ydrevig” [Ytrivik] and 
“Indrevig” [Innrwik] [outside and inside creek] as they lie thus.” 
Tunugdliarfikfiord is one of Greenland’s most beautiful fiords and 
is very luxuriant at its inner end, especially on the west side. There is 
a narrow tongue (the /galiko-tongue) between this fiord and Ericsfiord, 
and to the north of it rises Jgdlerfigsalik which is about 2000 m high. 
North of this, the Koror bay intersects itself towards the inland ice, 
which transmits a glacier here, and which calves into the fiord. 
It is surrounded by high, percipitous mountams and completely 
uninhabitable. It is the same case with the whole of Eriesfiord’s east- 
side, south of the Igaliko tongue. Not a single farm is to be found. 
But on the other hand there are several farms along the fiord’s west 
side and especially on both sides of its head. 
The fiord ice usually disappears out of Tunugdliarfikfiord in June, 
sometimes as early as April. At the end of October or the beginning of 
November they are already frozen. 
The ice-bound icebergs from Korok glacier break away with the 
fiord-ice in the spring. Almost directly afterwards the fiord can be free of 
ice, but after the increasing of the calving — which is worst in the spring- 
— every now and then icebergs float out. As the out-stream becomes 
more rapid on account of the rivers being filled with water, these icebergs 
disappear more and more and towards autumn, in September, the fiord 
can even be quite free of ice; as when it begins to freeze again the calving 
of the glacier stops. In the spring a little drifting ice is seen from without, 
but towards summer it is kept outside by the current. Along the west side 
of the fiord there is a high mountain range, /limaussar (1500 m) which 
oceupies the peninsula between Tunugdliarfik- and Sermilikfiords. 
It falls off towards the north (to about the height of the Igaliko- 
tongue of land) and goes over to an undulated piece of land filled with 
small lakes. There were many farms in this part as well as on both 
banks of the fiord, having had excellent living conditions. Still further 
north, nearest the inland-ice, lay beautiful Alp-landscapes, and amongst 
them Ulunguarssuak (1300 m) rears itself. 
The end (Kingua) of Tunugdliarfikfiord is prolonged by a magni- 
ficent valley with a big river flowing through it. The ten farms, which, 
to judge by the ruins, had stood at the head of the fiord, have certainly 
made great use of the mountain pastures. Especially the farms on the 
west side had exceptionally good pasture on the undulating ground, 
which stretehes as far as Isefiord’s inner branches. In several places 
the farms have been able to supply themselves with fuel, the rivers in 
those days had, as well as now, excellent salmon-fishing and the fiords
