Kitak is an island in the Sermersooq municipality in southeastern Greenland.
In 1961 the German weather ship WBS 11 Hessen was renamed 'Kitak'.[1]
Geography
The island is located on the western side of the entrance of the Sermilik Fjord.
There is a sheltered bay in the NW side of Kitak that is reportedly a good anchorage for ocean-going vessels.[2] The island is 10.2 kilometres (6 miles) long with maximum width of 4.3 kilometres (3 miles).[3]
Kitak is the largest and easternmost island of a compact cluster of coastal islands, islets and rocks extending for 14 km from the easternmost point of Kitak to the 51 m high islet of Igssalik in the west; 2.2 kilometres (1 mile) long Orssuiagssuaq, where formerly a LORAN station was located, is the southernmost island. The archipelago is separated from the mainland by narrow sounds, one of which is named 'Ikasartik'. The Suunikajik island cluster is located 4 km to the west.[4]
The nearest inhabited settlement is Tasiilaq, the most populous community on the eastern coast and the seventh-largest town in Greenland, located on Ammassalik Island on the other side of the fjord about 40 km to the ENE.

Chute spillway of Llyn Brianne dam in Wales A spillway is a structure used to provide the controlled release of flows from a dam or levee into a downstream area, typically the riverbed of the dammed river itself. In the United Kingdom, they may be known as overflow channels . Spillways ensure that the water does not overflow and damage or destroy the dam. Floodgates and fuse plugs may be designed into spillways to regulate water flow and reservoir level. Such a spillway can be used to regulate downstream flows – by releasing water in small amounts before the reservoir is full, operators can prevent sudden large releases that would happen if the dam were overtopped. Other uses of the term "spillway" include bypasses of dams or outlets of channels used during high water, and outlet channels carved through natural dams such as moraines. Water normally flows over a spillway only during flood periods – when the reservoir cannot hold the excess of water entering the reservoir ove...
