Mount Paatusoq
Mount Paatusoq, also known as 'Mount Patuersoq', is the highest mountain in the Kujalleq municipality, SE Greenland. Paatusoq is also the highest peak in the King Frederick VI Coast area of far southeastern Greenland. History Long considered the highest unclimbed peak in remote southeastern Greenland, Mt Paatusoq was finally climbed in 1966 by Austrian alpinist Toni Dürnberger in very difficult conditions. Some of the team members fell into a crevasse and one of them was seriously injured. Dürnberger had previously led the 1962 Austro-German Greenland Expedition ''(Österreichische Deutsche Grönland Expedition 1962)'' that had climbed unscaled peaks in the Sermilik area from April to July 1962. Geography Rising on the northern side of the inner end of Paatusoq fjord Mount Paatusoq is an isolated peak in a remote and uninhabited location. This mighty mountain rises steeply from the glacier located north of the nunatak at the glacier confluence that has its terminus in Paatusoq ...

Lemon Range
The Lemon Range or Lemon Mountains ( da, Lemon Bjerge) is a mountain range in King Christian IX Land, eastern Greenland. Administratively this range is part of the Sermersooq Municipality. History The range was named by Gino Watkins after Captain Percy Lemon (1898–1932) of the Royal Corps of Signals, a member of the 1930-31 British Arctic Air Route Expedition led by Watkins. Although not as high as the Watkins Range to the east or the Lindbergh Range to the northeast, the Lemon Range has become a popular place among climbers because it has some of the steepest rock peaks in Greenland and the quality of the granite is good. A number of the main summits of the range were climbed for the first time by Chris Bonington in the 1990s. Geography The Lemon Range is an up to 2,500 m high mountain massif made up of nunataks. It is located among the glaciers east of Courtauld Glacier which has its terminus in the Cortauld Fjord, an arm of Kangerlussuaq Fjord, East Greenland, and west ...

Actress (Greenland)
Actress is the highest mountain in the Lemon Range, Sermersooq municipality, eastern Greenland. It was climbed in the 1990s by Tom Chamberlain. Geography This high peak rises at the northern end of the Lemon Range, rising steeply just west of the Frederiksborg Glacier. It is a rocky peak with a vertical icy crevice running along its southern face. This mountain is marked as an peak in the Defense Mapping Agency Greenland Navigation charts. Although it is the highest summit of the range, Actress is located inland and is not as conspicuous as the spectacular peak cluster of the Domkirkebjerget with its high "Cathedral". The latter is located further south in a more accessible area and "Cathedral" was formerly confused with Actress, the true highest point of the Lemon Range.

Gronau Nunataks
The Gronau Nunataks ( da, Gronau Nunatakker) is a mountain range in King Christian IX Land, eastern Greenland. Administratively this range is part of the Sermersooq Municipality. History This group of nunataks at the edge of the vast Greenland Ice Sheet was first reported by German aviation pioneer Wolfgang von Gronau during his 1930 transatlantic flight on a Dornier Wal. The existence of the range was later confirmed by Lauge Koch during flights in 1933 that were part of the 1931–34 Three-year Expedition to East Greenland ''(Treårsekspeditionen)''. Following the subsequent survey and mapping of the mountains they were named after Wolfgang von Gronau. Geography The Gronau Nunataks is a long cluster of nunataks. It is located north of the Watkins Range, beyond the large Christian IV Glacier and to the northeast of the Lindbergh Range. The Greenland Ice Sheet lies to the north and the Wager Nunataks further to the east. The Gronau Glacier is located in the western part of ...

Stauning Alps
The Stauning Alps ( da, Stauning Alper) are a large system of mountain ranges in Scoresby Land, King Christian X Land, northeastern Greenland. Administratively the Stauning Alps are part of the Northeast Greenland National Park zone. This mountainous area was named after Danish politician Thorvald Stauning (1873–1942) who had helped to finance expeditions to east Greenland planned and carried out by Danish explorers. History The Stauning Alps had been partly mapped earlier and named ''Rink Bjerge'' by Lauge Koch’s 1926–27 expeditions, being referred to as a "wild and jagged range of mountains." The range thus described obviously corresponded to the eastern end of the Stauning Alps and the adjacent Werner Range, but the name was not approved owing to the lack of detailed maps. Finally the range was thoroughly surveyed and mapped in 1932 by Koch during aerial surveys made during the 1931–34 Three-year Expedition to East Greenland. There is almost full documentation of cl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
