Cape Brown (Greenland)

Cape Brown (Kap Brown) is a headland in the Greenland Sea, east Greenland, Sermersooq municipality.

History
This headland was named "Cape Brown" by William Scoresby (1789–1857) in 1822 to honour Scottish botanist Robert Brown (1773–1858).

A small wintering station known as "Kap Brown Station" was built in 1934 on the eastern shore of nearby Fleming Fjord 15 km SW of Cape Brown at the time of the Three-year Expedition to East Greenland. The names Vimmelskaftet and Flemmingfjordhuset were also used for the same station.

Geography
Cape Brown is located in the Greenland Sea south of Cape Biot, off the southern end of Davy Sound.

Cape Brown is the northernmost point of the Wegener Peninsula in Jameson Land. Rising between the mouth of Fleming Fjord to the west and Nathorst Fjord to the east, it is a 930 m high conspicuous headland with reddish-brown rocky sides.
