context_page_description: The Blosseville Coast is a long stretch of coast in King Christian IX Land, eastern Greenland. Administratively it belongs to the Sermersooq Municipality.
  The Blosseville Coast is steep and difficult to access by ship owing to the great number of ice floes, frequent fog, dangerous currents and lack of good anchorages.
context_section_description: The Blosseville Coast is located between Kangerlussuaq Fjord in the SW and Cape Brewster at the entrance to Scoresby Sound to the NE. Amdrup initially had used the name for a stretch of coast between Barclay Bay and Cape Vedel.
  Compared to other coastal areas in Greenland the coast in this area is not deeply indented. Fjords, such as Nansen Fjord and Kivioq Fjord, are relatively short. In some fjords the Greenland ice sheet comes down to the shore. There are only a few islands lying off the coast and they are generally small.
