Hjelm Range

The Hjelm Range (Hjelmbjergene) is a mountain range in the Gauss Peninsula, King Christian X Land, northeastern Greenland. Administratively this range is part of the Northeast Greenland National Park zone.

The range was named by the 1931 - 1934 Three-year Expedition to East Greenland following a suggestion by expedition member Thyge Johansen, who said that the rounded mountaintops reminded him of the helmets worn by Roman soldiers.
