Wyckoff Land
Wyckoff Land is an area or peninsula in Peary Land, Northern Greenland. This geographic feature was named by Robert Peary after Clarence F. Wyckoff, one of the founding members of the Peary Arctic Club in New York. History. When Robert Peary reached the area the weather was foggy and he assumed that the landform he stood upon was an island which he named "Clarence Wyckoff Island". He waited for two days for the fog to clear and then he returned. "Pearys Vardenæs" is a cairn built in 1900 by Peary before he returned towards the west. It stands  in the outermost part of Wyckoff Land between Skaerbugt and Hellefisk Fjord. Two Independence I archaeological sites have been discovered on the headland. Geography. Wyckoff Land lies in the northeastern shore of Peary Land, between Hellefisk Fjord and G.B. Schley Fjord. To the southwest the peninsula is attached to the mainland and to the northeast lies the Wandel Sea of the Arctic Ocean. Cape Clarence Wyckoff rises 9 km to the southeast of the eastern shore.
