the highest peaks determined by us on Dronning Louises Land 
(altitudes about 2000 m) with this landform. When in 1913 I went 
across Dronning Louises Land, it turned out that this supposition 
was correct, at any rate as far as a single locality was concerned, 
and at the same time I discovered at the western outskirts of Dron- 
ning Louises Land, on about 76°30' п. lat. and 26° w. of Grw., a large 
quantity of nunataks having the pronounced characteristic of alpine 
landforms’). The 
highest peaks in 
this place, Gefions- 
tinderne, were on 
the voyage roughly 
computed at 2500 
to 2700 m; they are 
among the highest 
known mountains of 
Greenland. 
North of Jokel- 
bugten the alpine 
landform becomes 
more general; it 
thus occurs every- 
where in the interior 
of Djimphna Sund, 
Hekla Sund and 
Ingolfs Fjord, but 
not at the outer 
coast off these fjords

Not till on Peary Land at Kap Clarence Wyckoff does the alpine 
landform stretch as far as the outer coast, and then it follows the 
trend of the latter as far as the map of the Danmark-Ekspedition 
goes towards the north. С. В. Schley Fjord and Frederick Е. Hyde 
Fjord — Fig. 51 — are pronounced alpine fjords; Dannebrogstinde 
(1050 m) — Fig. 53 — and Stjernebannertinde (1370 m) are typical 
‚ alpine peaks. The highest peak measured on Peary Land is situated 
in Daly Mountains (1400 m); but Ihave seen peaks which I estimated 
at more than 2000 m.
