## Geography

Th. Sørensen Land is a mountainous region. It is bound to the north by Flyver Fjord, a branch of Nordvestfjord, beyond which lies Hinksland. To the southeast it is separated from Renland by the Edvard Bay Valley. Its easternmost point is a headland jutting out into the right bank of the Nordvestfjord. Nathorst Land lies to the northeast in the opposite shore.

There are several glaciers in Th. Sørensen Land, such as the Eielson Glacier and the Vindue Glacier. Further to the northwest flows the Freuchen Glacier. To the west rise the Royston Nunataks, and beyond them the Greenland ice sheet.
