Adolf S. Jensen Land

The landmass north of Bessel Fjord was deemed to be an island by the Second German North Polar Expedition led by Carl Koldewey that partially explored the area in 1869–70. Koldewey used the name 'Peschel Island' in the English edition of his 1869–70 narrative. Also the Alf Bruun Hytta and the Carl Ritterhytta, Strømsbukta and Johns Hytta hunting huts were built in the eastern part of the peninsula, the latter three by John Giæver while he lived as a trapper in north-eastern Greenland from 1929 to 1934. The Nanok East Greenland Fishing Company built the hunting huts Laksehytten in 1939 and Fiskerhytten in 1951, both located at the head of Syttendemajfjorden, and Påskehytten, a hut in the east coast in 1938. ==Geography==

Adolf S. Jensen Land is bounded in the west by the Soranerbraen Glacier —beyond which lies Rechnitzer Land, in the north by the Fangersund of the Inderbredningen and the Trangsund of the Dove Bay, in the east by the Storebaelt that opens into the Greenland Sea, and in the south by the Bessel Fjord. Queen Margrethe II Land lies to the south of the Bessel Fjord. Cape Karl Ritter is the peninsula's easternmost point and the Hawkins Vandfald waterfall is located in the southeastern part. There is an ice cap in the SW. The highest elevations are in the southern part and are unnamed. Vivian Fjeld is a high mountain in the northern subpeninsula, Kapspidsen is a high mountain near the NE end. ==References==
