The Wolstenholme Fjord is located in the far northwest of Greenland, to the north of the Thule Air Base and adjacent to the abandoned Inuit settlement of Narsaarsuk.

Saunders Island, Wolstenholme Island and the Bylot Sound lie at the mouth of the Fjord in North Star Bay.

The fjord's waters are fed by four large glaciers: the Salisbury Glacier, the Chamberlin Glacier, the Knud Rasmussen Glacier, and the Harald Moltke Glacier.

The area was contaminated in 1968 with Plutonium and other radioactive elements following a B-52 bomber crash.
