What is the highest point in Greenland?

Gunnbjørn Fjeld is the highest point in Greenland, rising to about 3,694 metres in the remote Watkins Range of eastern Greenland.

The mountain is not a conventional rocky peak standing above open ground. It is a nunatak—a rocky summit that protrudes through the surrounding glacial ice. Several other summits in the Watkins Range also exceed 3,500 metres, but Gunnbjørn Fjeld is the territory's highest.

Its name honours Gunnbjørn Ulfsson, traditionally regarded as the first European to sight Greenland. The mountain's first recorded ascent took place on August 16, 1935, by Augustine Courtauld, Jack Longland, Ebbe Munck, and Lawrence Wager.

Gunnbjørn Fjeld is exceptionally remote and is climbed infrequently. Expeditions commonly approach from Iceland using a helicopter or a ski-equipped aircraft. It is also the highest point in North America outside the mainland.
