Ella Island, or Ella Ø, is an island in eastern Greenland, within Northeast Greenland National Park.

Geography

Ella Island is located at the mouth of Kempe Fjord in the northern end of King Oscar Fjord. To the east lie larger Traill Island and Geographical Society Island. The island has an area of 143.6 km ² and a shoreline of 59.6 kilometres.[1]

History

Lauge Koch had a cabin on the northern side of the island named Eagle's nest. The botanist Thorvald Sørensen spent the years 1931-1935 here. His observations formed the basis for his doctoral thesis in 1941.

During World War II, US forces had an installation on the island called Bluie East Four.[2] The Sirius Sledge Patrol maintains a small base on the island which is manned only in summer.[3][4]

In 1971 a meteorite was found on Ella Island,[5] classified as a L-6 chondrite.
