Administratively it is a part of the Northeast Greenland National Park. It was named after Danish botanist and ecologist Eugen Warming (1841 – 1924).

==Geography== Warming Land is located between Nyeboe Land and Wulff Land. It is bounded by St George Fjord and the Steensby Glacier on its western side, and Hartz Sound —a branch of the Sherard Osborn Fjord, as well as the Ryder Glacier on the eastern.<ref name="mapcarta">{{cite web|url=http://mapcarta.com/19183144|title=Warming Land|work=Mapcarta|accessdate=14 July 2016}}</ref> Midgårdsormen, an unglaciated section of the peninsula, is located at the southern end and to the south of it lies the Greenland Ice Sheet. Warming Land has two large firn caps in its central part, the Daniel Bruun Firn and the Rink Firn covering the highest parts of the peninsula.<ref name="GE">GoogleEarth</ref> {| |- valign="top". |[[Image:Operational Navigation Chart A-5, 3rd edition.jpg|thumb|310px|Map of the Nares Strait area.]] |}
