Geography
Renland is surrounded to the north by the Nordvest Fjord of the Scoresby Sound and to the south by the 6 to 10 km wide Øfjord. To the west the peninsula is attached to the mainland. The Bjorne Islands lie off its eastern shore.[1]
This desolate area is a popular destination for mountain climbing owing to its steep slopes, massive rocky crags and jagged peaks.[2] Constable Point is the closest airport.
