Gauss Peninsula

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gauss Peninsula is a peninsula in East Greenland between Muskusoksefjord and Kejser Franz Joseph Fjord. The second German North Polar Expedition 1869–70 originally gave the name Cap Gauss to a point on the south side of this peninsula, but A.G. Nathorst’s 1899 expedition was unable to determine the position because of the rounding of the coast and applied the name Gauss Halfö to the peninsula as a whole. It is named for the German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss.
