Henrik Krøyer Holme is a small group of uninhabited islands of Greenland within Northeast Greenland National Park.[1] The area was formerly part of Avannaa, originally Nordgrønland ("North Greenland"), a former county of Greenland until 31 December 2008.
The Henrik Krøyer Holme group is an Important Bird Area where the ivory gull breeds.[2]
This cluster of small islands is located in the Wandel Sea off the coast of Amdrup Land.[3] The waters around the islands are part of the North East Water polynya, a seasonal area of open water surrounded by ice.[4]
