Zackenberg

Zackenberg, also spelled Zackenburg, is a dark-hued mountain in northeastern Greenland on Wollaston Foreland, standing above Zackenberg Bay on the north side of Young Sound. Rising 1,375 metres at the southern end of the foreland’s western part, it has several summits that create the jagged outline reflected in its German name. A river runs along its northern and eastern sides through the valley separating it from the higher Dombjerg. At its foot stands Zackenberg Station, a research facility that has made the mountain’s name familiar in Arctic scientific work and on maps. It remains a prominent landmark in a stark High Arctic setting.
