Jørgen Brønlund Fjord
Jørgen Brønlund Fjord or Brønlund Fjord is a fjord in southern Peary Land, northern Greenland. It was named after polar explorer Jørgen Brønlund by the Danmark expedition. Geography It runs roughly from NW to SE with its mouth located at the western end of Melville Land, between Cape Harald Moltke to the east and Cape Knud Rasmussen to the west. It is about long and to wide, and opens out to Independence Fjord in the south. The Børglum River has its mouth on the left side of the fjord. Brønlundhus, a former research station, is located on the west side close to the mouth of the fjord, and Kap Harald Moltke, another similar facility, on the east side. Brønlundhus was, until 1950, the northernmost radio outpost in the world. The northern shore is the type locality of the Buen Formation.

Børglum River
The Børglum River () is a river in Peary Land, Greenland. It is the largest river in Greenland. Administratively it is part of the Northeast Greenland National Park. The Børglum River Formation is named after the river. Fossils dating back to the Ordovician have been found in it. The Børglum River Formation was deposited in the paleoequatorial marginal seas of Laurentia during the Katian. Course The Børglum River is formed on the southern slopes of the Nordkrone. After leaving the mountains it heads roughly southwards across the desolate territories of the western limit of Melville Land, an unglaciated area. Finally it bends southwestwards and joins the left side of the Brønlund Fjord from its mouth in the Independence Fjord. The river receives many tributaries along its course. The river was first mapped by Danish Arctic explorer Lauge Koch during his Cartographic Air Expedition of 1938. He named it after the medieval Børglum Abbey Børglum Abbey was an important P ...

List Of Features In Greenland Named After Greenlandic Inuit
A number of geographic features in Greenland were named after Greenlandic Inuit. Arctic explorer Knud Rasmussen was partly of Greenlandic origin and several places and landforms in Greenland, such as the Knud Rasmussen Range and Knud Rasmussen Land, were named after him. The following places were named after not so well-known Inuit persons: * Brønlund's Grave * Cape Christiansen * Hannah Island * Hans Island * Hendrik Island * Joe Island * Jørgen Brønlund Fjord * Navarana Fjord * Tobias Glacier * Tobias Island (Tuppiap Qeqertaa) * Tobias Valley References {{Reflist External links''Hannah and Joe on the Map'' - Nunatsiaq News [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Deltaterrasserne
Deltaterrasserne ("Delta Terraces") is a pre-Inuit occupation archaeological site located near the head of Jørgen Brønlund Fjord on the Peary Land peninsula in northern Greenland. It is one of the largest archaeological sites in Peary Land, and was discovered in September 1948 by the Danish explorer and archaeologist Eigil Knuth during the second summer of the Danish Pearyland Expedition. Occupied during the period of 2,050–1,750 BC, the site contains features of Independence I and Independence II cultures. Function and construction Deltaterrasserne was constructed of large, terraced stones, ranging from to above sea level. Knuth named the site's ruins and caches in order of their descending elevation. These are scattered over of beach terraces in a multicomponent campsite. The highest of the terrace sites is named Terrace A. Its three ruins contain tent rings, central hearth, charcoal, and a gravel berm periphery, along with a meat cache. Terrace B is located most ...

Kap Harald Moltke
Cape Harald Moltke () is a headland in Peary Land, North Greenland. Administratively it is part of the Northeast Greenland National Park. History The cape was named by Lauge Koch after Danish painter, author and explorer Harald Moltke. The Danish scientific research station ''Kap Harald Moltke'' was built in 1972 near the cape under the auspices of Eigil Knuth. There is also a small airfield near the facility. The Kap Harald Moltke Arctic station, as well as nearby Brønlundhus Station —built in 1948— have been under the administration of the Peary Land Foundation since Eigil Knuth's death. Geography Cape Harald Moltke is located on the northern side of Independence Fjord, at the southwestern end of Melville Land.

Brønlundhus
Brønlundhus, on some maps also Brønlundfjord, is a former research station and radio station located on the western shore of Jørgen Brønlund Fjord in southern Peary Land, in northern Greenland. It is named after Greenlandic Arctic researcher Jørgen Brønlund, or after the namesake fjord on which it is located. It is close to the mouth of Jørgen Brønlund Fjord where it opens into Independence Fjord. History Brønlundhus was built in 1947–48 by the Danish Peary Land Expeditions on initiative of Eigil Knuth, through an air lift by PBY Catalina seaplanes from ''Zackenbergbasen'', a station built for that purpose close to a trapper's hut at the site of present Zackenberg research station area 1000 km farther south. Brønlundhus was the first station in Greenland with all equipment transported by airlift. The seaplanes could land in the fjord only during the ice-free period from mid-July to end of August. Brønlundhus was used as a base for the first expedition 1948&n ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cape Knud Rasmussen
A cape is a clothing accessory or a sleeveless outer garment of any length that hangs loosely and connects either at the neck or shoulders. They usually cover the back, shoulders, and arms. They come in a variety of styles and have been used throughout history for many different reasons. Semantic distinction In fashion, the word "cape" usually refers to a shorter garment and "cloak" to a full-length version of the different types of garment, though the two terms are sometimes used synonymously for full-length coverings. A shoulder cape is thus sometimes called a "capelet". The fashion cape does not cover the front to any appreciable degree. In raingear, a cape is usually a long and roomy protective garment worn to keep one dry in the rain. History The first known usage of capes is unknown, but some early references we know of are from Ancient Roman military uniforms. Later on, capes were common in medieval Europe, especially when combined with a hood in the chaperon. They ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Arctic
The Arctic (; . ) is the polar regions of Earth, polar region of Earth that surrounds the North Pole, lying within the Arctic Circle. The Arctic region, from the IERS Reference Meridian travelling east, consists of parts of northern Norway (Nordland, Troms, Finnmark, Svalbard and Jan Mayen), northernmost Sweden (Västerbotten, Norrbotten and Lapland (Sweden), Lappland), northern Finland (North Ostrobothnia, Kainuu and Lapland (Finland), Lappi), Russia (Murmansk Oblast, Murmansk, Siberia, Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Nenets Okrug, Novaya Zemlya), the United States (Alaska), Canada (Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut), Danish Realm (Greenland), and northern Iceland (Grímsey and Kolbeinsey), along with the Arctic Ocean and adjacent seas. Land within the Arctic region has seasonally varying cryosphere, snow and ice cover, with predominantly treeless permafrost under the tundra. Arctic seas contain seasonal sea ice in many places. The Arctic region is a unique area among Earth's ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
