Teufelkap (German : Teufels-Kap), meaning "Devil Cape", is a headland in King Frederick VIII Land, Northeast Greenland. Administratively it is part of the Northeast Greenland National Park. [1]
Its cliffs are a home for seabird colonies. [2]
Teufelkap was named in 1870 by Carl Koldewey (1837–1908). [3] The steep headland with a dark red hue looked frightening in the fog when it was first seen by members of the Second German North Polar Expedition in March 1870. Later visitors of the area confirmed that the name chosen by the German explorers was suitable to refer to the sinister-looking headland. [4]
Teufelkap is located in Dove Bay at the eastern end of Djævleøen. It is a conspicuous landmark. The entrance of the A. Stelling Sound lies to the SW around the cape. [5]

The German North Polar Expeditions were a short series of mid-19th century German expeditions to the Arctic. The aim was to explore the North Pole region and to brand the newly united, Prussian-led German Empire as a great power. In 1866, German geographer August Petermann wrote a pamphlet strongly advocating German participation in the international quest for the North Pole, which stimulated a German expedition.
