Hannah Island (Danish: Hannah Ø) is an island of the Nares Strait, Greenland. [1] Administratively it belongs to the Avannaata municipality.
Hannah Island was named after Hannah (Tookoolito), an Inuk guide who accompanied Charles Francis Hall in the 1871 Polaris expedition.[2] [3]
Hannah Island lies in the mouth of Bessel Fjord and northeast of Cape Bryan by the Kennedy Channel. The waters around the island are frozen most of the year.
The island consists of a huge mound of pebbles and drift, probably the deposit of an ancient glacier. It has an area of 0.5 km2 and an elevation of 36 meters.[4] Lichens and lichenicolous fungi grow on the island.[5]
