Mount Paatusoq

Mount Paatusoq, also known as 'Mount Patuersoq',[3] is the highest mountain in the Kujalleq municipality, SE Greenland.

[4] Paatusoq is also the highest peak in the King Frederick VI Coast area of far southeastern Greenland.

Long considered the highest unclimbed peak in remote southeastern Greenland, Mt Paatusoq was finally climbed in 1966 by Austrian alpinist Toni Dürnberger in very difficult conditions.

The massive succession of mountains on the northern side culminates in this magnificent ultra-prominent peak towering to a height of 2,488 m (8,163 ft) above the glacier at the head of the fjord.

[7] Geologically the western end of the range and the mountains in the nunatak south of it are part of the Paatusoq Syenite Complex.
