Greenland has Gunnbjørn Fjeld as its highest elevation point, at about 3,700 meters above sea level. The mountain rises in the Watkins Range of eastern Greenland and is also the highest summit north of the Arctic Circle.
The elevation is often listed more precisely as 3,694 meters, while many references round it to 3,700 meters. Gunnbjørn Fjeld is surrounded by glaciers and rugged peaks, making it part of one of the most remote mountain regions in the Arctic.
A common mix-up is calling the mountain Denmark’s highest point. Greenland is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, but it is geographically and politically distinct from Denmark proper; trivia questions about Greenland normally accept Greenland as the answer. Another nearby fact readers often ask about is whether it is the highest mountain in North America: it is the continent’s highest peak outside the mainland, though Alaska’s Denali is much higher overall.
