Niviarsiat is a mountain in the Kujalleq municipality, southern Greenland. [2]
This mountain is a 1,300 m high summit with multiple peaks rising to the northeast of the Kiattuut Sermiat glacier. [3]
Niviarsiat is located near the southern end of the Greenland ice sheet and is conspicuous. [4]
Wilhelm August Graah during his 1829 expedition, thought that he could see the Niviarsiat peaks from a hilltop of Griffenfeldt Island in the eastern coast of Greenland:
They were probably, the tops of Niviarsiet, or The Maidens, in the district of Juliana's Hope. [5]
Despite the distance across the ice sheet, other authors regard Graah's conclusion as correct. [6]
Wilhelm August Graah (1793–1863) was a Danish naval officer and Arctic explorer. Graah had mapped areas of West Greenland when he, in 1828–30, was sent by King Frederick VI of Denmark on an expedition to the unmapped eastern coast with the purpose to search for the lost Eastern Norse Settlement.
