Cape Steen Bille (Danish: Kap Steen Bille) or Kap Bille, also known as Kangeq, is a headland in the North Atlantic Ocean, southeast Greenland, Kujalleq municipality.[1]

History

[edit]

Cape Steen Bille was named in 1829 by Lieutenant Wilhelm August Graah (1793–1863) after Steen Andersen Bille (1797–1883), Danish Royal Navy vice-admiral and minister for the navy.

Fridtjof Nansen visited the area in 1888 before his crossing of the Greenland ice sheet from the east.

Geography

[edit]

Cape Steen Bille is a promontory of yellowish rock located in the Puisortoq area 19 km (12 mi) south of Cape Cort Adelaer.[2] The cluster of the Otto Rud Islands lies to the NNW around the cape.[3]
