Tasiilap Karra

Tasiilap Karra[1] or Cape Gustav Holm (Danish: Kap Gustav Holm) is a headland in eastern Greenland, Sermersooq municipality.

It was named after officer of the Danish Navy and Arctic explorer Gustav Holm (1849 – 1940).

Cape Gustav Holm is located near the Arctic Circle on the shores of the Denmark Strait coast of the North Atlantic Ocean, northeast of Tasiilaq.

[2] This cape is the southern end of a narrow mountainous peninsula east of the Ikersuak Fjord which extends in a NE/SW direction, rising to a height of 966 m. The islet of Nanertalik lies 1.2 km off a small projection on the shore 5 km northeast of the cape and Cape Buchholz is located a further 7 km to the northeast along the coast.

Steenstrup Glacier has its terminus west of the cape.
