Lysufjord

Lysufjord is a Norse name associated with Ameralik, one of the fjords of Greenland's Western Settlement. Its waters reach inland from the southwestern coast through a mountainous landscape. Norse farms were scattered around the Ameralik and Nuuk fjord systems, where households kept livestock and hunted to supplement their herds. The church farm of Sandnes stood in this region, one of the prominent settlements that linked the smaller farms to the religious life of medieval Greenland.
