Description
Petermann Peak (Petermann Bjerg, 2,970 m) is one of Greenland's highest mountains, located in King Christian X Land in Northeast Greenland within the Northeast Greenland National Park — the world's largest national park. It was long regarded as the highest point in the Arctic until modern surveys established Gunnbjørn Fjeld as higher. The surrounding region is entirely uninhabited, so climbing it is a remote glacier expedition with very limited access.

Routes
Sisi utara via Gletser Nordenskiöld (rute pendakian pertama Wordie 1929)
Ekspedisi Arktik terpencil — gletser/salju di atas nunatak; jarang didakiThe only documented line follows Wordie's 1929 Cambridge first ascent: approaching from Kaiser Franz Joseph Fjord to the nunatak on the north side of the Nordenskiöld Glacier in Frænkel Land, then up glacier/snow slopes to the ~2,943 m summit — technically moderate but an expedition objective owing to extreme remoteness in the Northeast Greenland National Park; only a second recorded ascent was made, in 1951.
SourceClimbing Experiences
Petermann Peak (Petermann Bjerg, ~2,943–2,970 m), one of Northeast Greenland's highest summits, rises on a nunatak on the north side of the Nordenskiöld Glacier in Frænkel Land deep inside Kaiser Franz Joseph Fjord, within the uninhabited Northeast Greenland National Park. It is almost never climbed — first ascended in 1929 by James Wordie's Cambridge expedition (then believed Greenland's highest) and only a second time in 1951 — so its record is dominated by historical scientific and exploratory expeditions.
