Oodaaq lies at 83° 40′ North and 30° 40′ West, only 705 km (438 mi) south of the North Pole and 1,360 m (4,460 ft) north of Kaffeklubben Island, lying near the northeast tip of Greenland. When discovered it measured a mere 15 by 8 m (49 by 26 ft).
(Forsberg's 2022 research said Oodaaq is also the top of a grounded iceberg.) [2] But what they thought, due to a GPS error, was Oodaaq, later turned out to be a previously unknown island 780 metres (2,560 ft) north-west of Oodaaq. The previously unknown island measures approximately 60 m × 30 m (197 ft × 98 ft), with a maximum elevation of ...

(flash) He was absolutely clear in saying you have not been on Oodaaq Island, you have been on a new island and it's actually situated approximately 800 meters more to the north than Oodaaq Island ...
Oodaaq island, the northernmost point of land of the world, lies off the north coast. Frederick E. Hyde Fjord, which cuts into Peary Land from the east 150 kilometres (93 mi) deep, divides it into Northern Peary Land and Southern Peary Land. Cape Eiler Rasmussen is the easternmost point.

The northernmost land on earth, whether the permanent Kaffeklubben Island, [1] or the shifting/resubmerging gravel banks of Oodaaq, ATOW1996, or 83-42, all of which are part of Greenland, are roughly 40 minutes of arc (75 to 79 kilometres) north of this parallel.
Since its record as the northernmost point of land was established, several gravel banks have been discovered in the sea to the north of the island, such as Oodaaq, 83-42, and ATOW1996; however, there is debate as to whether such gravel banks should be considered for the record since they rarely are permanent, being swallowed regularly by the moving ice sheets, being shifted in tides, or ...
