Rigny Bjerg

Rigny Bjerg, or Mount Rigny, is a prominent East Greenland mountain in King Christian IX Land that rises to 2,734 metres, the highest peak in its immediate area. It entered recorded geography in the early 19th century, when Jules de Blosseville mapped and sketched it from the sea and named it for the French naval officer Marie Henri Daniel Gauthier, comte de Rigny. Later expeditions in 1895–96 and 1898–1900 refined knowledge of its position, though some navigation charts still recorded it inaccurately. The mountain later became part of East Greenland’s climbing landscape, with successful ascents recorded in 1998 and on 19 July 2003.
