Holm Land

Holm Land is bounded in the north by the Ingolf Fjord, on the other side of which rises Amdrup Land, and in the south the Hekla Sound and the Dijmphna Sound. To the west it is attached to the mainland and to the east lies the Greenland Sea. Hanseraq Fjord is a small fjord in the eastern coast.[2] To the south lie Lynn Island and larger Hovgaard Island. A great part of inner Holm Land is covered by an ice cap.

Eskimonæsset is the peninsula's northeasternmost point where there are archaeological remains of ancient Inuit dwellings found by the ill-fated Denmark Expedition.[2]

Holm Land is mountainous, especially in its western part where the Princess Caroline Mathilde Alps (Prinsesse Caroline Mathilde Alper) run from north to south across the western end of the peninsula. The highest point reaches 1,627 m (5,338 ft) at 80°28′28″N 19°36′38″W.

Steep cliffs make up most of the southern shore.[4] Mallemuk Mountain (Mallemukfjeldet) is a high plateau at the southeastern end with the most precipitous cliff section.[5][6]
