Nature
Devil's Thumb, called Kullorsuaq in Greenlandic and Djævelens Tommelfinger in Danish, is a 546-metre mountain on Kullorsuaq Island in northwestern Greenland's northern Upernavik Archipelago. Rising from the island's central area about 3 kilometres north of the settlement of Kullorsuaq, it is distinguished by its steep, pinnacle-like form. In the surrounding landscape of sea ice, islands, and fractured Arctic coastline, that striking profile has long made it an easily recognized landmark for Arctic navigators. Comparable to the Melville Monument farther north but larger, it remains one of Kullorsuaq Island's defining natural features and a prominent element of the seascape in Avannaata municipality.
