Geography

Upernattivik is a coastal island in Umivik Bay, located between the Fridtjof Nansen Peninsula to the north and the Odinland Peninsula to the south. The Torsukattak is an 800 metres (2,625 feet) wide sound that separates the island from the mainland in the north and the broader Umiiviip Kangertiva Fjord is located to the south.[4]

The island is 18 kilometres (11 miles) long with a maximum width of 11 kilometres (7 miles).[5] There are some smaller islands in its vicinity, such as Treflodigheden, Terne Island and Tre Lover to the west and Pikiitsi off its eastern point.[4]

gollark: A single active cryotheum cooler and then 26 cells?
gollark: Wait, for the middle layer, can't you use cryotheum where some of the copper coolers are and maybe run TBU-ox?
gollark: Use that, then.
gollark: Well, post your design then, and I can try and optimize it.
gollark: I mean, great for power generation, but not good for actually storing ordered matter.
