Geography
Cape Nansen is located to the northeast of the mouth of the Nansen Fjord in an indented area of the eastern Greenland coast where there is a succession of headlands with active glaciers in between.[1] The cape lies 15 km to the east-northeast of the mighty Cape J.A.D. Jensen on Sokongen Island[2]
This headland has been defined by the International Hydrographic Organization as the Southwest limit of the Greenland Sea, which is a line joining Cape Nansen with Straumnes, Iceland, the NW point of Iceland.[3]
