Oodaaq or Oodap Qeqertaa is a bank of gravel and silt northeast of Greenland that has been considered by some to be the northernmost point of land on Earth, though a ...
(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 ...

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 ...
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.
In 1978 Uffe Petersen, a member of the Danish Geodetic Institute, discovered Oodaaq Island at 83° 40' 32.5" N. Its last confirmed sighting was in 1979. [ 110 ] In 2003, a small protrusion of rocks and boulders, 35 m × 15 m (115 ft × 49 ft) in length and width, was discovered by Arctic explorer Dennis Schmitt and his team at latitude 83° 42 ...
