King Oscar Fjord

King Oscar Fjord () is a fjord in East Greenland, marking the northern border of the Scoresby Land Peninsula. 

It was named by A.G. Nathorst on his 1899 expedition as Konung Oscars Fjord for Oscar II, King of Sweden from 1872–1907 and of Norway from 1872 until 1905.

Geography
King Oscar Fjord is a major fjord system in NE Greenland. The main fjord is 10–25 km wide, bounded by Traill Island and Geographical Society Island in the east.
