Cape Peary (Danish: Kap Peary) is a headland in the Avannaata municipality, NW Greenland.[2]
This cape was named after US Arctic explorer Robert Peary (1856–1920).
Cape Peary is located on the eastern side of the shore of Granville Fjord just north of the Drinkard Bluff, about 4km (02miles) north of the fjord's mouth and 8km (05miles) northwest of the Moriusaq Inuit settlement.[3]
