Daugaard-Jensen Land, (Danish: Daugård-Jensen Land), is a peninsula in northwestern Greenland. It is a part of the Avannaata municipality.
Daugaard-Jensen Land was named in honor of Jens Daugaard-Jensen (1871–1938), who served as the Inspector of Greenland from 1912 to 1938.
Geography
Daugaard-Jensen Land is located between Washington Land and the Petermann Glacier. The Cass Fjord is at the southern end, beyond which lies the Humboldt Glacier. The Pentamerus Range is located in the middle/northern region.
