		William Scoresby senior and his son (also William Scoresby) had notable success in East Greenland waters, and reported observations of land between 70° and 74°N in their whaling logs in 1817 and 1821.
		Scoresby junior named Scoresby Sund after his father, and named many capes and land areas within the Scoresby Sund region after his friends and scientific colleagues; these included Liverpool Land, Jameson Land, Milne Land, Kap Tobin and Kap Brewster.
		Scoresby junior is noted in particular for his excellent 1822 chart of the East Greenland coast between latitudes 69°—75°N, that corrected the serious errors of longitude of earlier charts, which had placed the coast of East Greenland 7° to 14° too far to the east.

		The deposits from the Scoresby Sund glaciation are interpreted as representing a complete glaciation-deglaciation succession, including proglacial sandur and glaciolacustrine sediments, followed by till deposition, with an overlying succession of glaciolacustrine and glaciofluvial sediments.

		Two days out of Reykjavik we wake in Scoresby Sund, the world's largest fjord, and one of the many branching inlets that filigree the Greenland coast.
		Rising from the seashore is Ittoqqortoormiit, a neat cluster of green and red houses rising to a ridge against a backdrop of gravel-coloured mountains.
		Add to this a local population who prefer to roar around the unpaved main street at high speed on quad bikes – and the local policeman is the worst offender – and you have a small settlement with the noise and traffic hazards of a metropolis.
