Hellefjord is a fjord in King Frederick VIII Land, northeastern Greenland.
History
Hellefjord was named by the 1906-1908 Denmark expedition, after the German word for "light", in contrast with the "dark" Mørkefjord to the north.[2]
Geography
This fjord is located in Daniel Bruun Land, east of Danmarkshavn. There are two parallel fjords to the north of it, Mørkefjord and Sælsøen, a lake with a fjord structure.[3] It runs from east to west for nearly 30 km. Its mouth is in northern Dove Bay.[1]
