Geography

This fjord is located on the western shore of Sermilik (Sermiligaaq), near Tasiilaq (Ammassalik), about 20 km (12 mi) north of the mouth of the great fjord.[2] Johan Petersen Fjord runs roughly from northwest to southeast for about 20 km (12 mi). The Bruckner[3] and Heim[4] glaciers discharge at the head of the fjord.[1]

Qeertartivatsiaq Island is located on the northern side of the entrance of the fjord. There are Inuit ruins on the southern shore of the island facing the fjord.[2]

gollark: Now, while very ææææ in some ways (they say stuff about keeping notes around for 100 years, but run on a subscription model, and do their stuff as a clientside webapp?!), some of the features there ARE very cool.
gollark: Another one of the inspirations which fed into the utterly nonexistent idea of minoteaur I have in my head is Standard Notes.
gollark: Oh, and a full text search index obviously, although ripgrep *is* pretty fast on plain text files.
gollark: Well, I had various very approximate ideas: tags, including some sort of "smart tags" thing; first-class storage of inter-note links, possibly with associated data of some sort, for cool visualization things™; possibly even associating arbitrary key/value pairs with notes for processing.
gollark: And calling out to git for revision history would be utterly.
