Administratively this range is part of the Northeast Greenland National Park zone.[1] The range was named by the 1938–39 Mørkefjord Expedition after Princess Caroline-Mathilde of Denmark (1912-1995), wife of Prince Knud of Denmark (1900-1976), patron of the expedition.[2] GeographyThe Princess Caroline-Mathilde Alps run from north to south across the western half of the Holm Land peninsula. The Princess Elizabeth Alps located to the north across the Ingolf Fjord display a similar structure. The range is bound to the north and northwest by the inner Ingolf Fjord, to the east by the flatter eastern part of Holm Land, to the west by the Vandre Valley (Vandredalen) and the Saefaxi River (Sæfaxi Elv), and to the south by the Marmorvigen and the inner Hekla Sound, the NW branch of the Scoresby Sound.[1] The range has numerous rocky peaks and ridges that are unnamed. The highest point of the Princess Caroline-Mathilde Alps reaches {{convert|1627|m|abbr=on}} at {{coord|80|28|28|N|19|36|38|W|}} with an almost as high {{convert|1618|m|abbr=on}} peak located very close about 5 km to the southeast.[3] US Air Force maps display the same highest point reaching {{convert|1801|m|abbr=on}}[4] and other sources {{convert|1744|m|abbr=on}}.[5] The Princess Caroline-Mathilde Alps lie in a desolate and uninhabited part of Greenland. The nearest settlement is Nord, a military outpost with an airfield located about 120 km to the north.[3] GlaciersThe main glaciers in the Princess Caroline-Mathilde Alps are:
