	Oodaaq - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Oodaaq is the name given to a bank of gravel and silt, north east of Greenland that was at one stage considered by some to be the most northerly point of land on earth.
		Oodaaq lies at 83°40′ N 30°40′ W (http://kvaleberg.com/extensions/mapsources/index.php?params=83_40_N_30_40_W_), only 600km south of the North Pole and 1360 metres north of Kaffeklubben Island, lying near the north east tip of Greenland.
		In July 2001, the Return to the Top of the World Expedition, led by John Jancik and Ken Zerbst, confirmed that their discovery of the 1996 RTOW island and permanent land feature is indeed the northernmost point of land on earth.

		Oodaaq Island was flooded, but we had achieved our first goal under the midnight sun.

		In 1996 the American Top of the World Expedition (ATOW1996) crossed from the north coast of Greenland past Kaffeklubben Island with the goal of reaching Oodaaq Island by walking over the sea ice.
		We discovered a nearly submerged island in the approximate 1985 orthophoto map location of Oodaaq.
		A single large flat boulder broke the surface of a melt water pool trapped over the island by surrounding small ice ridges.

	To The Top of the World
		That failure, along with the 1978 discovery of Oodaaq Island, surveyed by the Danish as the exact northernmost point of land on earth, made them more determined to complete the project.
		The result was a team of ten climbers from Colorado, California, Utah, Wisconsin, and Montana who were able to explore the mountains, glaciers, valleys, tundra and sea ice that make up the region called North Peary Land, and accomplish what Zerbst and Jancik had dreamed of for 17 years.
		From the summit of Kaffeklubben Island, I scanned the horizon to the north with binoculars looking for Oodaaq Island, the tiny chunk of rock which is the northernmost point of land on earth.

		For years it was accepted that Cape Morris Jesup was the tip of the world, but then a small speck of land even further north was discovered; a small island that earned the name Kaffelklubben Ã, or 'coffee club' island, no doubt for its warm and cosy ambience.
		Kaffelklubben Ãwas then superseded by a mere scrap of gravel 100m (328ft) across - Oodaaq island - which as far as anyone knows is absolutely and positively the last bit of land in the northern hemisphere.
		Getting to this small parking lot is possible only by chartered helicopter and oodles of money.In recent years access conditions have been relaxed a smidgin and private expeditions can now lodge formal applications to visit the park.

		In 1978 Danish surveyors found a gravel bar a mile farther north at 83° 40' latitude and named it Oodaaq, after Peary's Eskimo companion.
		Although it is still listed by some reference works, Oodaaq mysteriously disappeared and hasn't been seen for years.
		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.

		The American Top of the World Expedition of 1996 was able to locate what they thought was Oodaaq island, but
		doubts remain because of the inconsistancy between the island they attained, “ATOW1996,” and those recorded by the original discoverers of Oodaaq.
		The coordinates for ATOW1996 are acutally further north than those for Oodaaq, so it currently holds the record for the most northerly point of land.
