}}Kiatak or Northumberland Island ({{lang-da|Northumberland Ø}}), also known as Kujata, is an island off the coast of northern Greenland.[1]

Geography

This relatively large island is part of a small group formed by Kiatak, Herbert Island and Hakluyt Island. The islands lie off the Inglefield Fjord, between the Murchison Sound to the north and the Hvalsund to the south.[2]

The latter is the smallest of the group and lies off Kiatak's western shore.[3]

The island was inhabited at the time of Robert Peary's Greenland expeditions in 1886 and 1891-1897.[4]
