Cape Tobin (Greenlandic: Uunartoq, "that which one burns oneself on"[1]) is a cape located in the northeast of Sermersooq, Greenland. It is located near the settlement of Ittoqqortoormiit, where short trips and long hauls provide access to the cape.[1] Cape Tobin is located opposite Cape Brewster (Kangikajik). It is called Uunartoq because it is home to the hottest hot spring in Greenland, where the water temperature is 62 °C (144 °F).[1]
