Franske Islands

Franske Islands, Danish: Franske Øer, French: Iles Françaises; meaning 'French Islands', is a group of uninhabited islands of the Greenland Sea, Greenland.

[1] Administratively the islands belong to the Northeast Greenland National Park.

The Duke of Orléans Arctic Expedition had given the name "Iles Françaises"' to a group further south in 1905.

A few years later the Denmark Expedition transferred the name to the northernmost islands that the French expedition could have explored and named the group south of the Pariserøerne "Danske Islands".
