Ingolf Fjeld

Ingolf Fjeld is a steep, dramatic mountain on the eastern Greenland coast in King Christian IX Land within Sermersooq, rising from the shore at the northeastern end of Kangertittivatsiaq fjord. Fridtjof Nansen regarded it as the first mountain seen far out in the Denmark Strait when approaching East Greenland from Iceland, making it a notable coastal landmark. Though sources differ on its exact height, it is chiefly remembered for its striking profile and severe form. Ingolf Fjeld also holds an important place in Arctic mountaineering through demanding climbs on its south face and east ridge, and through a later documentary inspired by an attempted ascent.
