Nordostrundingen (Danish : Nordostrundingen, Northeastern rounding, in English Northeast Foreland), [1] is a headland located at the northeastern end of Greenland. Administratively it is part of the Northeast Greenland National Park.
This headland was named by the Denmark expedition 1906–1908. It is an inconspicuous point where the ice slope of the Flade Isblink meets the frozen sea. [2]
At 11°19'W it is the most easterly point of land relative to either of the Americas (North and South America). Nordøstrundingen is further east than three countries in Africa and even further east than the westernmost point in Europe (excluding the Azores), which is Látrabjarg in Iceland. It is only 1° 49′ from the westernmost point of the European mainland which is in Portugal.
Greenland is not part of North America politically, which leads some people to assert that the most easterly point of the continent is the easternmost point in Canada − Cape Spear located at 52°37'W near St. John's, Newfoundland. However, both of these headlands are located on islands on the North American continental shelf; neither is located on the continental mainland.
Semisopochnoi Island, Alaska is in the eastern hemisphere at 179°46'E and thus is the easternmost point in North America by longitude. Cape St. Charles on the Labrador Peninsula is the easternmost point of continental North America.
Greenland is located between the Arctic Ocean and the North Atlantic Ocean, northeast of Canada and northwest of Iceland. The territory comprises the island of Greenland—the largest island in the world—and more than a hundred other smaller islands. Greenland has a 1.2-kilometer-long (0.75 mi) border with Canada on Hans Island. A sparse population is confined to small settlements along certain sectors of the coast. Greenland possesses the world's second-largest ice sheet.
