Daugaard-Jensen Land, (Danish: Daugård-Jensen Land), is a peninsula in northwestern Greenland. It is a part of the Avannaata municipality.[1]
Daugaard-Jensen Land was named in honor of Jens Daugaard-Jensen (1871–1938), who served as the Inspector of Greenland from 1912 to 1938.
Geography
Daugaard-Jensen Land is located between Washington Land and the Petermann Glacier. The Cass Fjord is at the southern end, beyond which lies the Humboldt Glacier.[2] The Pentamerus Range is located in the middle/northern region.[1]
The northern coast runs between Aleqatsiaq Fjord and Bessel Fjord, east of which the Petermann Peninsula extends northwards.[3]
