From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Coordinates: 81°00′N 23°00′W / 81.000°N 23.000°W / 81.000; -23.000 Danmark Fjord is a 230 km (140 mi) long fjord in north-eastern Greenland, lying south of Hagen Fjord.

The fjord was first surveyed and named in 1907 by Ludvig Mylius-Erichsen and his expedition under their first assumption that the fjord was the same as Independence Fjord. The name Danmark is that of their vessel.[citation needed]
