Mount Gunnbjørn (in Danish: Gunnbjørn Fjeld) is the highest mountain in Greenland and Denmark (because Greenland is a legitimate part of this country), located in the Watkins Range on the east coast of the country, with several other summits above 3,500 m. Its height reaches 3,693 meters. Mount is a nunatak, a mountainous peak that emerges from the territory covered by a glacier without being covered with ice itself.
It is named after Gunnbjorn Ulfsson, the Viking who was the first European to reach Greenland. In the Icelandic Sagas to the mountain was called Hvitsärk that literally means "white shirt" and it coincides with the name of one of the children of the legendary Viking Ragnar Lodbrok according to the saga Ragnarssona þáttr (the History of the children of Ragnar). It was first climbed August 16, 1935 by Augustine Courtauld, Jack Longland, Ebbe Munck, Harold G. Wager and Lawrence Wager.
