Cape Morris Jesup is the northernmost point of mainland Greenland at 83°37′39″N, 32°39′52″W and is 708 km from the geographic North Pole. Robert Peary reached the cape in 1892, believing it to be the northernmost point in the world, although it lies slightly to the south of the northernmost tip of Kaffeklubben Island.
