}}Hans Tausen Ice Cap ({{lang-da|Hans Tausens Iskappe}}) is an ice cap in Peary Land, northern Greenland. Ice cores show it is around 3500–4000 years old. It formed since the Holocene climatic optimum of 6000-8000 BP.[2][3][4][5][6][7]

Geography

The ice cap is located south of the De Long Fjord area and east of Freuchen Land, across the inner J.P. Koch Fjord, and west of Odin Fjord.[8] It is about 100 km from north to south and 80 km from east to west and sits on a 1300 m high plateau.

The Hans Tausen Ice Cap is the source of many glaciers, including Ymer Glacier, Lur Glacier and the Tjalfe Glacier.[9] It is a well studied ice cap, and is important to understanding the last Climatic Optimum. (Holocene climatic optimum)[10]
