	Kaffeklubben Island Information
		Kaffeklubben Island or (Coffee Club Island) is a small island lying off the north eastern tip of Greenland, and is considered to be the most northerly point of land on earth.
		Discovered by Robert Peary in 1900, the island is around 1 km in length, and found at 83°40′N 29°50′W, 37 km east of Cape Morris Jesup, Greenland.
		Since then, several gravel banks have been found to the north, most notably Oodaaq, though there is debate as to whether Oodaaq Island or these other gravel banks should be considered for the record as they are rarely permanent, being regularly swallowed by the moving ice sheets, or becoming submerged in the ocean.

		The fjords of the Southern part of the island were lush and had a warmer climate at that time, possibly due to what was called the Medieval Warm Period.
		The island's ties with Norway were severed by the Treaty of Kiel of 1815, through which Sweden gained control over mainland Norway while Denmark retained all of their common overseas possessions (which at that time included small territories in India, West Africa and the West Indies, as well as lands in northwestern Europe).

		First visited by the Danish explorer Lauge Koch in 1921, he named it after the coffee club in Copenhagen's museum of mineralogy, and in 1969 a Canadian team calculated that its northernmost tip lies 750m further north than Cape Morris Jesup, thus claiming its record as the most northerly point on land.

	Science Fair Projects - Dennis Schmitt
		Kaffeklubben Island was thought to be Earth's Ultima Thule since it was determined to lie slightly farther north than Greenland's Cape Morris Jesup.
		The 120-foot-long pile of dirt, rocks and ice reached by Schmitt's expedition at 83°42' latitude on July 6, 2003, appears to be farther north than any other known land, making his discovery a prime candidate as Ultima Thule.
		While several researchers ridicule these tiny islands as impermanent "unconsolidated piles of rubble pushed around on the continental shelf by Ice and rough seas", Schmitt's expedition noted that slow-growing lichen was found on his Ultima Thule candidate, giving credibility to his assertion that his islet is permanent.

	Ultima Thule - Groundspeak Forums
		Kaffeklubben’s reign, however, ended nine years later when the search for Ultima Thule plunged into a twilight zone of disappearing islands and explorer rivalry.
		Since then, two or three such islands have been found in the shifting landscape of snow, ice and mounds of rocks and debris on the submerged continental shelf off northern Greenland.
		As the island awaits Danish government evaluation, rival explorer John Jancik of Colorado said “83-42” is probably an island he first spotted with others from a plane in 1996, a claim dismissed by Schmitt, who helped organize the 1996 trip and was on the same plane.

	BERKELEY / Explorer's 'Ultima Thule' rejected
		After a treacherous, 10-hour trek across a melting ice sheet on July 6, Schmitt and five companions reached a 14-foot-high pile of rock, dirt and ice that is the northernmost of a handful of such tiny formations found in the past decade just north of Greenland.
		In response to query from The Chronicle sent to the Danish Polar Center, Forsberg wrote that none of the islets was visible during an inspection by plane last month, though he indicated that a large "ice wall" could be hiding some features in the area.
		A larger, officially recognized island called Kaffeklubben (Danish for "Coffee Club") lies farther south and is considered "the northernmost (large) island in the world," he wrote.

		Schmitt believes they were at the edge of the continental shelf and could see nothing to the north but flat ice and open sea.
