It is [[uninhabited]], which means no people live there. It has the farthest north point on [[Earth]], or the point closest to the [[North Pole]]. == Discovery == American explorer [[Robert Peary]] saw Kaffeklubben Island in 1900. This was the first time the island had ever been seen, but Peary did not visit the island. The island was not visited until 1921, when the [[Denmark|Danish]] explorer [[Lauge Koch]] visited the island and named it. The island was named after the coffee club in the [[University of Copenhagen Geological Museum]]. In 1969, a [[Canadians|Canadian]] team discovered that the northernmost point on the island was {{Convert|750|m|ft}} farther north than [[Cape Morris Jesup]], the northernmost point on [[mainland]] [[Greenland]]. Because of this, Kaffeklubben Island has the record for having the farthest north point on land. Since then, many [[Deposition (geology)|deposits]] of [[gravel]] have been found in the sea to the north of the island, such as [[Oodaaq]], [[83-42]], and [[ATOW1996]]. However, they are not permanent. They are usually absorbed by moving ice sheets, move around because of the [[tides]], or sink into the ocean. == Geography == Kaffeklubben Island is {{Convert|713.5|km|mi}} from the [[North Pole]]. The island is near [[Cape James Hill]], {{Convert|10|km|mi}} northwest of
