Qulleq, Qutdleq or Kutdlek[1] is an uninhabited island in the King Frederick VI Coast, Sermersooq municipality in southern Greenland.

Geography[edit]

Qulleq is an irregularly-shaped island that lies off the southeastern coast of Greenland. It is located 5.5 km from the shore off the mouth of the Anorituup Kangerlua fjord, to the north-northeast of Cape Tordenskjold, northeast of Nuuk Point.[2]

Qulleq is the largest and southernmost island of a small offshore archipelago of four main islands, including Qipinnguak close by to the west, Takisoq to the northwest and Qeqertarsuaq to the north.[3] The island's length is 6 kilometres (4 miles) and its maximum width 2.8 kilometres (2 miles).[4]

History[edit]

Qutsigsormiut is an important Paleo-Eskimo archaeological site on Qulleq's southern coast.[5] It is located by a south-facing bay known as Qulleq Sound that forms a sheltered natural harbour.[6]

A LORAN transmitting station was built on the southeastern point of the island and lies now abandoned.
