On the southern side of its mouth lies the island of Immikkoortukajik and further east at the entrance 643 m high Uttorsiutit Island.
The inner part of Timmiarmiut Fjord is a fjord system with an pattern of large tributary fjords branching to the north, the main ones being the Hanseraq Fjord and the Ernineq Fjord.
