Nature
Devil's Castle, or Teufelsschloss, is a prominent mountain in eastern Greenland's Northeast Greenland National Park, rising steeply from the shore above Kaiser Franz Joseph Fjord near the southeastern end of Andrée Land. Its dramatic form, a mass of reddish rock crossed by a lighter diagonal stripe, makes it a conspicuous landmark in the remote Arctic landscape. The mountain was named by Carl Koldewey's Second German North Polar Expedition, which first surveyed and partly explored Kaiser Franz Joseph Fjord in 1869–70. The name reflects its fortress-like profile and commanding position above the water within the world's largest national park.
