Sermilinnguaq (65.657°N x 52.643°W) is a small fjord Northwest of Maniitsoq town in Southwest Greenland.
The fjord houses several seabird colonies of which two of them is home to Brünnich guillemot. The SEATRACK location is the western colony which is the largest of the two.
The steep cliff side is about 600m long and 130m high and is primarily housing Brünnich guillemot (ca. 5000 individuals) and black-legged kittiwake (ca. 3000 pairs).
Otherwise razorbill, black guillemot and Iceland gull also breeds here.
The Sermilinnguaq site became a SEATRACK location in 2019, where GLS loggers were deployed on Brünnich guillemot and black-legged kittiwake.
