## Geography

Weyprecht Fjord is located east of the De Long Fjord. It opens to the northwest east of Hazenland and to the west of Lockwood Island with the Conger Sound branching east of the island separating it from Roosevelt Land. Its mouth is located between Cape Hommock and Cape Christiansen.

In its inner part, by Moa Island, Harder Fjord opens into Weyprecht Fjord, extending eastwards. It forms the northern limit of Amundsen Land to the southeast and at its head is a valley running eastwards north of which rises the Roosevelt Range. The sea in the area is almost permanently covered by ice.
