Cape Desolation (Greenlandic: Killavaat Nuugaatsiaat[a], Danish: Kap Desolation), also known as 'Cape Brill', is a headland in southwest Greenland in the Kujalleq municipality.
Geography
[edit | edit source]The cape is located 16.66 km to the west-north-west of Cape Thorvaldsen near the modern settlements of Arsuk and Ivittuut.[1] The cape is in an impressive stack of jagged cliffs with the reddish crags of the Killavaat mountain range in the background.[2] The Outer Kitsissut (Torstein Islands) lie 9.5 km west-north-west of the cape.
