What is the northernmost point of Greenland?
Kaffeklubben Island or Coffee Club Island (Danish: Kaffeklubben Ø; Greenlandic: Inuit Qeqertaat) is an uninhabited island lying off the northern tip of Greenland. It contains the northernmost undisputed point of land on Earth.
In 1921, the island’s first visitor, a Danish explorer, Lauge Koch named it for the “coffee club” in Copenhagen’s geological museum.
In 1969 a Canadian expedition determined that the island’s northernmost point was 750 m (826 yards) farther north than Cape Morris Jesup, which had been thought to be the world’s most northerly land point at that time.

Keffeklubben Island is not Greenland, it is Off the coast of Greenland.!

Cape Morris Jesup, cape, one of the world's northernmost points of land, in the Peary Land region, at the northernmost extremity of Greenland, on the Arctic Ocean, 440 miles (710 km) from the North Pole.

I nearly always take the longest answer when unsure. Although Cape Nord was tempting.

I agree with Sanjay Kumar. Blalirly21, you are correct == Keffeklubben Island is NOT Greenland.

Incorrect answer and the author even admits it in the explanation! I was looking for Cape Morris Jessup in the answers!

How can Kaffeklubben Island be the most northerly part of Greenland which is itself a separate island!

Oh yeah, and QC isn’t registering dislikes on this one.
