Devil's Thumb (Greenlandic: Kullorsuaq, Danish: Djævelens Tommelfinger) is a pinnacle-shaped, 546 m (1,791 ft)[1] mountain in the Avannaata municipality in northwestern Greenland.

Geography

Devil's Thumb is located in the central part of Kullorsuaq Island, an island in the northern part of Upernavik Archipelago, in Melville Bay, approximately 3 km (1.9 mi) to the north of the Kullorsuaq settlement.[1]

It is a familiar feature for Arctic navigators, similar to the Melville Monument further north, but bigger.[2]
