Everything about Nordostrundingen totally explained
Nordostrundingen (corrupted from
Danish:
Nordøstrundingen), is a
headland on
Greenland and the easternmost point in
North America. At 12°08'W it's the most easterly point of land in
North America, as well as the most easterly point of land in both the
Americas (North and South America). It is located at the northeastern end of the island. Nordøstrundingen is actually further east than the westernmost point in
Europe, on western Iceland.
Because Greenland isn't part of North America politically, some people believe the most easterly point of the continent is the easternmost point in
Canada;
Cape Spear located at 52°37'W near
St. John's,
Newfoundland. However, both of these headlands are actually located on
islands associated with North America, and thus neither is located
on the
continent itself.
Semisopochnoi Island,
Alaska is technically in the eastern hemisphere at 179°46'E and thus could also be considered the easternmost point in North America.
Cape St. Charles on the
Labrador Peninsula is the easternmost point of continental North America.
