Angiartarfik is a mountain with multiple rocky peaks, the highest of which reaches 1,824 m. This largely unglaciated mountain rises above Stordalen Havn, about 2 km west of the shore of Torsukattak Fjord.[2]

In the same manner as neighbouring Alleruusakasiit, located across the valley to the south, Angiartarfik is a renowned mountain among alpinists, especially its east face.[3]
