The height of this mountain was stated to us to be 12,000 feet, which is considerably above the mark. The highest yet ascertained is on the north-west coast, from 6000 to 7000 feet. The highest peak (over 10,000 feet in height) was discovered by the Germania. In Southern Greenland they reach scarcely 4000 feet. In the interior, near the Tessermiut Fjord, is a mountain, to which they give the name Napersorsoak. This has now been ascended by Europeans, and according to Dr. Rink’s statement, is at the most 4000 feet high.
