Cape Melville (Danish: '''Kap Melville'''; Kalaallisut; Greenlandic: Nallortup Nuua) is a headland in the Avannaata municipality, NW Greenland.[1]
Cape Melville is located at the eastern end of Meteor Bay.[2]
The cape lies at the northern limits of Melville Bay to the east of Cape York. A chain of small coastal islands stretches between the two capes, the largest of which is Meteorite Island.[3]
