Geography

The 29.8 km (18.5 mi) long fjord is an inlet of Sugar Loaf Bay, flowing to the west-northwest between Qullikorsuit Island in the southwest, and the Amitsorsuaq and Nasaussaq islands in the north. The Ussing Glacier or Ussing Bræer Glacier drains the Greenland ice sheet into the head of the fjord.[2] The shores of Nasaussap Saqqaa are uninhabited; the closest settlement is Nuussuaq on a peninsula of the same name, 26.5 km (16.5 mi) to the northwest of the fjord mouth.

gollark: Yes, and we will get to watch as it's upheld as somehow *not* being unreasonable.
gollark: Yes, and I don't care, because I think that's a misinterpretation of it.
gollark: ```The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.```This fourth amendment thingy does sound slightly relevant.
gollark: And this *could easily be* and is *already a breach of privacy*.
gollark: Yes, that is also bad.
