Nature
Ingmikortilaq, meaning “The Separate One,” is a steep sea cliff in eastern Greenland at Nordvestfjord near the toe of the Daugaard-Jensen Glacier. Rising about 3,750 feet from base to summit, this remote Arctic monolith of gneiss and granite has been dated to around 3 million years old. Its summit is especially significant because it can be reached only by climbing the wall, with the Northeast Ridge identified as the only known route. The cliff gained wider notice in August 2022, when Alex Honnold and Hazel Findlay made the first and only recorded ascent, becoming the only people known to have summited it.
