Citronen Fjord, Arctic fjord in Northeast Greenland National Park

The Citronen Fjord extends 4 kilometers in length with a width of 1.5 kilometers, running north to south along the southern shore of Frederick E. Hyde Fjord.

Danish Arctic explorer Eigil Knuth named the fjord during the Danish Peary Land Expedition between 1947 and 1950 to commemorate Danish freedom fighters.

The fjord represents an intersection of industrial development and Arctic preservation, attracting international mining companies and environmental researchers to its mineral-rich shores.

The fjord maintains permanent ice coverage throughout the year, requiring specialized equipment and careful planning for any exploration or mining activities.

The area contains one of the world's largest undeveloped zinc deposits, with mineral resources estimated at 85 million tonnes containing 4.7 percent zinc and 0.5 percent lead.
