Cape Christiansen (Danish: Kap Christiansen) is a headland in North Greenland. Administratively it belongs to the Northeast Greenland National Park.[1]
Cape Christiansen was named after Frederick Thorlip Christiansen (1846 – 1884), Inughuit dogsled driver and guide of the Lady Franklin Bay Expedition who died of starvation on April 5, 1884 at Camp Clay.[2]
Cape Christiansen is a headland located at the northern end of Lockwood Island, on the western side of the mouth of Conger Sound and on the eastern side of Weyprecht Fjord.[3] [4] [5] Near the point there is a cairn that was built by Lieutenant Lockwood in 1882. The cairn was surveyed by Robert Peary in 1900 and by Lauge Koch in 1921.[4]
