Geography

The Achton Friis Islands lie northeast of Jokel Bay, northeastern Greenland. They are located east of the terminus of the Zachariae Isstrom glacier, south of Cape Drygalsky, off the southeastern coast of Lambert Land and north of Schnauder Island ; to the southwest of the Norske Islands and northwest of the Franske Islands.

There are two islands in the group, the main island and a smaller island off its northernmost headland, separated from it by a narrow sound.[3]
