Stjernebannertinde

Nature
Stjernebannertinde is a mountain in northern Greenland's Peary Land and the highest point of the H. H. Benedict Range, an eastern extension of the Roosevelt Range. Rising above the western side of the Moore Glacier in eastern North Peary Land, it lies within Northeast Greenland National Park. Its elevation is generally given as 1,424 metres, or 4,672 feet, though a Defense Mapping Agency chart marks it slightly higher at 1,433 metres, or 4,701 feet. Also rendered in English as Starry Banner Peak, it was first climbed in 1996 by members of the American Top of the World Expedition, making it part of the modern history of polar exploration in this remote region.
