Geography This tributary fjord extends between high mountains for about in a west–east direction until its mouth in the confluence of the Rode Fjord (Røde Fjord) and the Fonfjord (Fønfjord) opposite the western end of Milne Land.
Two large glacier branches have their terminus in the Vestfjord, the Døde Bræ from the northwest and the Vestfjord Glacier from the southwest —the latter aligned with the fjord. They flow into the head of the Vestfjord at the fjord's western end and a nunatak reaching a height of rises between the two glaciers.
Geologically this fjord is part of the Vestfjord-Hinksland gneiss and schist zone crystalline complex.Harold Williams ed. Geology of the Appalachian—Caledonian Orogen in Canada and Greenland, p. 898The Mineral Occurrences of Central East Greenland
