Geography

This dark-hued mountain is located at the southern end of the western section of the Wollaston Foreland. Zackenberg rises steeply from the shore of the Zackenberg Bay on the northern side the Young Sound (Danish: Young Sund). It is a 1,375 metres (4,511 ft) high massive mountain with a number of peaks, hence its German name 'Zackenberg', referring to its serrated top. A river flows on its northern and eastern side forming a valley between this mountain and the higher Dombjerg to the north.

The Zackenberg Station, a research facility, is built at the foot of the mountain.[4]
