Geography

Dansketinden rises 15 km east of the shore of the Alpefjord —a branch of the Segelsällskapet Fjord, between the heads of Viking Glacier (Vikingebrae), Gully Glacier and Bersaerkerbrae glaciers.^[3] Although according to most available sources this mountain is a 2,842-metre-high (9,324 ft)^[3] or 2,831-metre-high (9,288 ft) ultra-prominent peak.^[4] it appears as a 2,788-metre-high (9,147 ft) peak in Google Earth.^[1]

Climbing history

Dansketinden was first climbed by Swiss mountaineers John Haller (1927–1984), Wolfgang Diehl (1908–1990) and Fritz Schwarzenbach on 5 August 1954.^[2] The second ascent was made by a 1964 expedition led by Guido Monzino.^[3]
