Nature
Sandersons Hope is a 1,042-metre mountain in Avannaata in northwestern Greenland, on the western part of Qaarsorsuaq Island in the Upernavik Archipelago. Snow covers it for most of the year, although it is not glaciated. The English navigator John Davis named it in 1587, and its striking prominence in the landscape remains clear. It is visible from Upernavik Airport, about 9.5 kilometres away, and from the southeastern coast of Upernavik Island.
