About Qeqertaq Avannarleq:

• It is a tiny, uninhabited and previously unknown island discovered recently off the coast of Greenland.
• Measuring 60×30 metres and with a peak of three metres above sea level, it has now become the new northernmost piece of land on Earth.
• Before this, Oodaaq was marked as the Earth’s northernmost terrain.
• The discovery comes as a battle is looming among Arctic nations, the US, Russia, Canada, Denmark and Norway for the control of the North Pole and of the surrounding seabed, fishing rights and shipping routes exposed by melting ice due to climate change.
