'''Davisodden''' is a headland in [Nathorst Land](/source/Nathorst_Land) at [Spitsbergen](/source/Spitsbergen), [Svalbard](/source/Svalbard). It is named after American [geomorphologist](/source/geomorphology) [William Morris Davis](/source/William_Morris_Davis). The headland is located at the northern side of [Van Keulenfjorden](/source/Van_Keulenfjorden), and is a river delta made by the river flowing through [Davisdalen](/source/Davisdalen).<ref name=Davisodden>{{cite web |url=http://placenames.npolar.no/stadnamn/Davisodden |title=Davisodden (Svalbard) |publisher=[Norwegian Polar Institute](/source/Norwegian_Polar_Institute) |accessdate=25 February 2015}}</ref> Davisdalen extends from the mountain ridge of [Mjellegga](/source/Mjellegga) down to Davisodden.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://placenames.npolar.no/stadnamn/Davisdalen |title=Davisdalen (Svalbard) |publisher=[Norwegian Polar Institute](/source/Norwegian_Polar_Institute) |accessdate=25 February 2015}}</ref> Its river is fed from several glaciers, including [Martinbreen](/source/Martinbreen) and [Charpentierbreen](/source/Charpentierbreen).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://placenames.npolar.no/stadnamn/Martinbreen |title=Martinbreen (Svalbard) |publisher=[Norwegian Polar Institute](/source/Norwegian_Polar_Institute) |accessdate=25 February 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://placenames.npolar.no/stadnamn/Charpentierbreen |title=Charpentierbreen (Svalbard) |publisher=[Norwegian Polar Institute](/source/Norwegian_Polar_Institute) |accessdate=25 February 2015}}</ref>
