Danmarkshavn

Danmarkshavn (Denmark's Harbour) is a small weather station located in Dove Bay, on the northeastern shore of the Germania Land Peninsula, in Northeast Greenland National Park, Greenland.

The location was chosen as a suitable winter harbor by the Denmark expedition in 1906 for their ship Danmark.

It became the main base of the expedition, from where sledge journeys and scientific observations were carried out.

Danmarkshavn is also known as the northernmost location on the coast of the Greenland Sea that non-icebreaking vessels can pass through.

July and August are the warmest months, with average temperatures just a few degrees above freezing.
