The northernmost point of the world is the geographic North Pole, in the Arctic Ocean. The northernmost point on land is Kaffeklubben Island, east of Greenland (83�‹40�ŒN 29�‹50�ŒW), which lies slightly north of Cape Morris Jesup, Greenland (83�‹38�ŒN 32�‹40�ŒW). Various shifting gravel bars lie further north, the most famous being Oodaaq. The term Ultima Thule was given by medieval cartographers for the northernmost point of land. http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/worldgeographymainpage/worldstatistics2.htm Jan 02 07, 7:30 PM

Dennis Schmitt is credited with the July 2007 discovery of the northernmost island on Earth, named Stray Dog West by Holly Wenger. Stray Dog West belongs to a shifting, semi-permanent archipelago locked in the sea ice north of Peary Land in northeast Greenland, named the Stray Dog Islands. "Stray Dog West" is at 83º40'30"N http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Schmitt [Added reference link - McG] Aug 17 08, 12:43 AM
