Geography

To the northwest the fjord opens into the Lincoln Sea of the Arctic Ocean. Wulff Land forms the western shore of the fjord. The C. H. Ostenfeld Glacier has its terminus at the head of the fjord.

Islands

Nares Land lies east of the fjord and a narrow sound between this island and the mainland connects inner Victoria Fjord with Nordenskiöld Fjord to the east. Stephenson Island is located at its northern end by its mouth.
