Kaffeklubben
Kaffeklubben is small a island located at the North-East of the Greenland and one of the emerged grounds most Scandinavian of the world.
The island measures approximately 1 km length and is located by, 37 km in the East of the Cape Morris Jesup, the most septentrional point of the island of Greenland.
Kaffeklubben was discovered by Robert Peary in 1900 and was explored for the first time by Danish Lauge Koch in 1921, which named it according to the coffee of the mineralogical natural history museum of Copenhagen. In 1969, a Canadian team calculated that its northern point is located 750 m more at North that the course Morris Jesup, enabling him to hold the record of the most septentrional ground of planet.
Since, several gravel benches were found more in the North, most famous being Oodaaq, discovered in 1978. It is however dubious that they can claim with the record because they seldom permanent, are regularly covered by drifting ices or are submerged by the ocean (Oodaaq, for example, seems to have disappeared since at least ten years).
