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: The option #3 I suggested was to not have multiple users; just let the person using it edit everything and don't try some awful nonfunctional sandboxing implementation like you've made.
gollark: I mean, you could do that; that's option #1. It would be an awful solution. But you could.
gollark: Oh, actually there's option #3: just do single user mode and don't bother stopping editing of "OS" files.
gollark: Well, your current implementation lets them do stuff to OS files, so no.
gollark: I would recommend against #1, because weirdly enough people like being able to write, download and run programs.
