[1] Cape Møsting was named by Lieutenant Wilhelm August Graah in 1829 during his East Coast expedition.

The Inuit babies died shortly after delivery and were buried in a cleft of the rocks of the two small islands off the SW side of Cape Møsting.

Usually great masses of icebergs lie near the fjord entrance to the south of the cape making navigation along the shore difficult.

Dangerous eddies and whirlpools form within the bank of icebergs as powerful currents flow out of the fjord.

Further north rise the icy cliffs of the Kangerajiip Apusiia (Colberger Heide) tidewater glacier.
