SONDRE STROMFJORD

inlet, southwestern Greenland, located just north of the Arctic Circle and 60 miles (95 km) southeast of Holsteinsborg. About 120 miles (190 km) long and 15 miles (1.58 km) wide, the inlet extends northeastward from Davis Strait to the edge of the inland ice cap, where its arms are fed by several glaciers. Near the head of the inlet is Bluie West 8 (BW 8), a U.S. World War II air base, which now serves as a transpolar intermediate stop between Scandinavia and North America.
