Crown Prince Frederik Land (Greenlandic: Kunngissaq Frederik Nuna; Danish: Kronprins Frederik Land) is an area in the northernmost part of Greenland that is named after the current Danish king, Frederik X.[1][2][3] It is bordered to the west by Knud Rasmussen Land, to the north by Peary Land and to the east by King Frederik VIII Land.[4][1]

The territory was awarded by the first Prime Minister of Greenland, Jonathan Motzfeldt in 2000,[5][3] after the then crown prince completed a four-month-long expedition from Qaanaaq (Thule) and north of Greenland down to Sled Patrol Sirius' headquarters in Daneborg, an expedition that stretched over 3000 km and completed by dog sled.[5][3]
