The lowest elevation is sea level and the highest elevation is the summit of Gunnbjørn Fjeld, the highest point in the Arctic at 3,694 meters (12,119 ft). The northernmost point of the island of Greenland is Cape Morris Jesup , discovered by Admiral Robert Peary in 1900.

This is a list of places on land below mean sea level. Places artificially created such as tunnels, mines, basements, and dug holes, or places under water, or existing temporarily as a result of ebbing of sea tide etc., are not included. Places where seawater and rainwater is pumped away are included.

Greenland’s contribution to sea level rise will only grow as global average temperatures warm, Moon said. Sea level rise can cause coastal erosion, flooding and saltwater inundation of ...
This is a list of countries and territories by their average elevation above sea level based on the data published by Central Intelligence Agency, [1] unless another source is cited. The list includes sovereign states and self-governing dependent territories based upon the ISO standard ISO 3166-1 .
Scientists analyzed eight ice shelves buttressing glaciers in northern Greenland, which together hold enough ice to raise sea levels by 2.1 meters — nearly 7 feet — should they break down and ...
As with the ice loss elsewhere, the melting of Greenland contributes to sea level rise. Between 2012 and 2017, this melting added an average of 0.68 mm per year, [109] equal to 37% of sea level rise from land ice sources (excluding thermal expansion of water from the continual increase in the ocean heat content).
