Tasersuaq
Tasersuaq (old spelling: "Taserssuaq") is a large lake in the Qeqqata municipality in central-western Greenland. The name of the lake means "large lake" in the Greenlandic language, and is a common name shared by several lakes in the country. Geography. Tasersuaq is a latitudinal lake of elongated sausage shape, extending from approximately in the west to in the east, located halfway between Sisimiut in the west and Kangerlussuaq in the east, approximately east of the former, and west of the latter. In the northwest the lake is bounded by tall mountains of the Pingu mountain group. The range  flattens considerably towards the east in the area of Kangaamiut dike swarm north of Kangerlussuaq, due to pressure exerted by the Greenland ice sheet () for long periods in the past. The eastern end of the lake is located just west of the Tarajornitsut highland. Polar route. The tough, long "Arctic Circle Race" takes place each winter, with the trail partially overlapping with the "Polar Route" from Sisimiut to Kangerlussuaq. The race was inaugurated in 1998, since then becoming an international competition. The "Polar Route" passes near the southwestern shore of Tasersuaq, in the Kangerluatsiarsuaq bay of the lake, where a  hut erected by the Sisimiut tourist office stands at the shore. The route then heads to the southeast, towards Amitsorsuaq lake, and further east to Tarajornitsut, ending in Umiarsualivik on the shores of Kangerlussuaq Fjord, approximately west-south-west of Kangerlussuaq.
