At the time of the Three-year Expedition to East Greenland, it is reported that, when Lauge Koch was planning to fly over the region in 1932, he said: Let’s get this over with as quickly as possible and then we can call the whole thing King Christian X Land.

[2]The name 'King Christian X Land' was first used on the 1932 1:1 million scale Danish Geodesic Institute map.

[3] Myggbukta was a Norwegian radio and weather station that operated in the coast intermittently during the 20th century.

[4] King Christian X Land stretches above the Arctic Circle between the Scoresby Sound at 70°N and the Bessel Fjord at 76°N.

[5] It includes the Stauning Alps, Scoresby Land, as well as the vast glacier and fjord expanses of northeastern Greenland between the ice sheet area west of the Kaiser Franz Joseph Fjord and the eastern end of Wollaston Foreland in the shore of the Greenland Sea.
