Alluttoq Island (Danish: Arveprinsen Ejland) is a large (655 km2 (252.9 sq mi)), uninhabited[1] island in the Qaasuitsup municipality in western Greenland, located in the northern part of Disko Bay, in the outlet of the Sullorsuaq Strait, east of Disko Island.[2]
Settlement
Ataa, located on the eastern coast of the island, is an abandoned settlement, with the last families leaving the village around 1960. The closest populated settlements are Qeqertaq in the northeast, on an island off the shore of Nuussuaq Peninsula−and Oqaatsut in the southeast, on the mainland.
