Dickson Fjord is a fjord in King Christian X Land, eastern Greenland, located in the Northeast Greenland National Park area. It was first surveyed in 1899 by Alfred Gabriel Nathorst and named after Swedish politician Robert Dickson. The fjord is part of the King Oscar Fjord system and is surrounded by high mountains with steep shores. In 1930, a Norwegian ship reached the head of the fjord but was unable to anchor due to sudden shoaling. In September 2023, a megatsunami occurred in the fjord, sending seismic waves detected around the world.learn more on wikipedia
