Danmark Fjord

Danmark Fjord extends through the northern reaches of Greenland, creating a deep marine channel flanked by Princess Thyra, Margaret, and Dagmar Islands.

The Danmark expedition of 1906-1908, led by Ludvig Mylius-Erichsen, explored this fjord while searching for the non-existent Peary Channel.

Military personnel and researchers at the nearby Danish base contribute to scientific understanding of Arctic environments through weather monitoring and data collection.

The fjord remains covered in ice throughout the year, requiring specialized vessels and equipment for any navigation or exploration activities.

Unlike other Greenlandic fjords, Danmark Fjord has no significant glacier at its head, yet maintains permanent ice coverage due to its high latitude.
