Margaretatop is a mountain in eastern Greenland. Administratively it is part of the Northeast Greenland National Park.[2]
At the time of Lauge Koch's 1949–51 expeditions this summit was named after Margareta Hediger by American geologist John Haller,[1] a Fellow of the Geological Society of America.[3]
The peak is marked as "Margaretatopp"[4] and "Margarita Spids" in some maps.[1] Margaretasø is a small lake in neighboring Rendal at 73.425°N -65°W where the reflection of the mountain can be seen on its surface. This lake was named by John Haller after the same person.[1]
Margaretatop is the highest point of Andrée Land.
It is a roughly 2360m (7,740feet) high peak that rises in the southwestern part of Andrée Land, east of the Rendal valley and northeast of the shore of the Isfjord, a northern branch of Kaiser Franz Joseph Fjord.[5] This mountain is marked as a 7743feet peak in the Defense Mapping Agency Greenland Navigation charts.
