Administratively this range is part of the Northeast Greenland National Park zone. The range was named by Eigil Nielsen during the 1938–39 Mørkefjord Expedition after Princess Elisabeth of Denmark (1935–2018), daughter of Prince Knud.[2] GeographyThe Princess Elizabeth Alps run roughly from north to south across the western half of the large Crown Prince Christian Land peninsula with an average elevation of {{convert|1058|m|abbr=on}}. The area of the range is bounded in the north by the Flade Isblink, a massive ice sheet, to the west by the Nunataami Elv valley, to the south by the Ingolf Fjord, and to the east by the Tobias Glacier, beyond which lies Amdrup Land.[3] The Princess Caroline-Mathilde Alps located to the south in Holm Land across the fjord display a similar structure.[4] The Princess Elizabeth Alps lie in a desolate and uninhabited part of Greenland. The nearest settlement is Nord, a military outpost with an airfield located about 60 km to the NNE of the northern end.[4] Mountains and glaciersThe range is an up to {{convert|1466.4|m|abbr=on}} high largely glaciated mountain massif. The Bjørne Glacier runs southwards, draining the area of the Princess Elisabeth Alps. Other important glaciers in the range are the Smalle Spaerre Glacier and the Hjørne Glacier. In the south the range ends abruptly at the Ingolf Fjord, with the mountains rising steeply from the shore and towards the northern end the elevations decrease until the range becomes a chain of small nunataks barely rising above the surrounding ice sheet.[4]
ClimateThe Princess Elizabeth Alps lie in the high Arctic zone. Tundra climate prevails in the area of the range, the average annual temperature in the area being -16 °C . The warmest month is July when the average temperature rises to 0 °C and the coldest is January with -26 °C.[5] See also
