  The southernmost point of the island is Cape Simpson. Dream Bay (Drømmebugten) is located 14 km (8.7 mi) WNW of the headland and larger Mountnorris Fjord to the northeast.
  
  The highest summit of the island, a 1,884 metres (6,181 feet) high unnamed peak of the Svinhufvud Range is one of the ultra-prominent summits of Greenland.
