Uigorlersuaq Island is located in the outer belt of islands in Tasiusaq Bay, in the central part of Upernavik Archipelago. In the northwest, it is separated from a smaller Uigorle Island by the inner waterways of the bay. In the southeast, Ikerasak Strait separates it from Tasiusaq Island and Paagussat Island.[1] It is one of the low-lying islands buffering Tasiusaq Island from the west. The highest point on the island is an unnamed 250 m (820 ft) peak in the northern part of the island.[1]
