Greenland?

So is this not considered part of Greenland? The Geography of Greenland article lists Cape Morris Jesup as it's most northern point. Who controls/owns Kaffeklubben? - Taxman ^Talk 12:30, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)

I suppose the Geography of Greenland article only refers to the Greenlandic mainland; that is, the island of Greenland (Kalaallit Nunaat) itself. Maybe the Geography of Greenland article should be changed so that offshore islands are also included? As far as I'm aware, Kaffeklubben (Coffee Club) Island is Greenlandic territory. I'll edit the Geography of Greenland article to reflect this. --Andrew 12:05, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Ok, that makes sense. It could note Cap Morris Jesup as the northern point of the main island, and this as the most northern island in the territory controlled by Greenland. Thanks - Taxman ^Talk 13:35, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)

It's on this map. Fred Bauder 15:17, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

inconsistency

The stated lattitude for Kaffeklubben Island is 83.6667°N and for Cape Morris Jesup 83.6275°N. This is difference of 0.0392° or 4.35 km (0.0392*111.11 km), which is much more than the stated 750 m. What is wrong? --Eivindghoel 12:52, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sadly, almost fifteen years later, no-one has addressed Eivindghoel's issue. cf. Most_northerly_point_of_land. The inconsistency continues.
Who can make the necessary checks and correct this? -- jw (talk) 20:27, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

From one who stood on that island

An e-mail was received from Ms. Lonnie Dupre, who stood on the island in 2006. It read:

The island is only 100 yards wide and 300 long. The island has three separate high spots or knolls. Each one has a 3 foot to four foot rock cairn located on it. The so called islands (Oodaaq...) out from kaffeklubben are not islands at all but shallow gravel bars that are moved around by drifting sea ice.

So which is it?

ATOW1996 also claims to be the northernmost land point on the Earth.--Roentgenium111 (talk) 13:01, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As that article indicates, ATOW1996 has not been confirmed to be stable/permanent, as Kaffeklubben is known to be. —Lowellian (reply) 20:30, 12 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There's another contender now, apparently bigger than Oodaaq: https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/greenland-island-intl/index.html Details are a bit scarce so it may be prudent to wait a bit before mentioning it to the article.

Coordinate error

{{geodata-check}}

The following coordinate fixes are need for Kaffeklubben Island 83° 40' n 29° 50' w . (On top of the page it says WGS84 83° 39′ 41.76″ N, 30° 36′ 35.52″ W 83.6616, -30.609867) and these coordinates does not bring you to the right place.

Undisputed northernmost point on land VS Northernmost undisputed point on land

This was changed in an otherwise grammar and punctuation edit, but to me it seems like these mean different things entirely, it's not just a matter of emphasis:

"Undisputed nothernmost point on land" = "Everyone agrees that it's the northernmost point on land"

- Looking at the sources of the linked article, this doesn't seem to be the case, for example: https://web.archive.org/web/20210828042237/https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/aug/28/scientists-discover-worlds-northernmost-island-off-greenlands-coast

"Northernmost undisputed point on land" = "It's the northernmost bit of land that everyone agrees is land, but there may be points further north where there is disagreement over whether they also should count as land"

- This seems to be what's going on here.

Demographics

If it's uninhabited, can I remove that it has an ethnicity and language? 2601:189:8001:8340:F074:B31B:A2CE:C950 (talk) 00:40, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

why was it named after the coffee club?

I was hoping to find out, but the article doesn't say. Marnanel (talk) 21:32, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
