Cape Desolation

Cape Desolation (Danish: Kap Desolation), also known as 'Cape Brill', is a headland in southwest Greenland in the Kujalleq municipality.

Geography

The cape is located 16.66 km to the west-north-west of Cape Thorvaldsen near the modern settlements of Arsuk and Ivittuut. The cape is in an impressive area of jagged cliffs with the reddish crags of the Killavaat mountain range in the background. The Outer Kitsissut (Torstein Islands) lie 9.5 km west-north-west of the cape.
