Kvanefjeld (local name Kuannersuit) is a mineral deposit in Kujalleq, southern Greenland. It sits on the broad plateau of the Ilimaussaq intrusive complex, overlooking the fjords near the town of Narsaq. For decades the site has attracted attention as one of the world's largest accumulations of rare earth oxides (REO), accompanied by significant uranium and zinc content.
