Ejnar Mikkelsen Range ({{lang-da|Ejnar Mikkelsen Fjeld}})[1] is a mountain range in King Christian IX Land, eastern Greenland. Administratively it is part of the Sermersooq Municipality.

The range is part of the greater Watkins Range and is named after Danish polar explorer Ejnar Mikkelsen. The highest peak is one of the most impressive mountains in Greenland and has a good reputation among alpinists.[2] It was first climbed in 1970 by Andrew Ross leading a Scottish team,[3] and for the second time in 1998 by Roland Aeschimann leading a Swiss team.[4]

Geography

The Ejnar Mikkelsen Range is a long nunatak with high peaks extending for about {{convert|23|km|abbr=on}} in a north-south direction. It is located east of the main Watkins Range on the eastern side of the Kronborg Glacier and west of the Borgtinderne, another nunatak with high peaks. Its northern end connects with the northern part of the Watkins Range. The area of this range is uninhabited.[5]

Mountains

The highest point in the range is {{convert|3282.7|m|abbr=on}} high Ejnar Mikkelsen Fjeld main peak, a massive mountain having a black rock needle at the top that marks the true summit.[6] None of the other peaks in the nunatak rises above {{convert|3000|m|abbr=on}}.

This summit is one of the highest summits in Greenland and it is marked as a {{convert|3325|m|abbr=on}} peak in some sources.[7]

  • Ejnar Mikkelsen Fjeld (3,282 m); highest peak at {{coord|68|53|42|N|28|37|34|W|}}[5]
  • Tall peak further south (2,724 m) at {{coord|68|50|54|N|28|37|34|W|}}[5]
  • Tall peak further north (2,679 m) at {{coord|68|56|55|N|28|34|46|W|}}[5]

Climate
