Renland was named after the reindeer which were found formerly in the area, but disappeared around the early 20th century.[3]

Geography

Renland is surrounded to the north by the Nordvestfjord of the Scoresby Sound, to the south by the 6 to 10 km wide Ofjord and to the southwest by the Rype Fjord. To the west the peninsula is attached to the mainland and to the northwest lies Th. Sørensen Land and beyond it the Hinksland peninsula. Nathorst Land lies to the north, across the Nordvestfjord

The Bjorne Islands lie off its eastern shore and to the south across the Ofjord lie the islands of Milneland and Storo.[4] Renland has its own ice cap on a high plateau in the middle of the peninsula[5] and in the southern part there are glacial lakes separated by glacial tongues.[6]

This wide and desolate place is a popular destination for mountain climbing owing to its steep slopes, massive rocky crags and jagged peaks.[7] Constable Point (Nerlerit Inaat) is the closest airport.

[ru] Ренланд (полуостров)

Ренланд (гренл. Tuttut Nunaat; дат. Renland) — крупный полуостров на востоке Гренландии, который частично находится в муниципалитете Сермерсоок, а частично в Гренландском национальном парке. Название полуостров получил в честь оленей (Renland — букв. с датского «Земля оленей»), которые раньше встречались в этом районе, но исчезли примерно в начале XX века.
