Deense en Zwitserse wetenschappers discovered the previous year in the ijsberg, what they thought was that there was an island, ten north of Groenland. He is now real water on the spot, what is known that he is in flat een platte ijsberg. Volgens Forsberg zijn all islands that are 1978 in the region zijn gevonden nu bezocht en geen van allen bleek a real island te zijn.
Previously, a Zwitsers-Deens team was planned in a region in the north of Groenland and there was thought to be an island van dertig bis zetig meters te raise ontdekt. Ze noemden het Qeqertaq Avannarleq, Groenlands voor ‘most northern island’. It is eight hundred meters north of the island of Oodaaq, which is then considered to be the land that is closest to the Noordpool area.
The status of Oodaaq as an island state is now also a real topic of discussion. The Wetenschappers zeggen dat een other nearby island, coffee club island of Inuit Qeqertaat in het Groenlands, actually het most northern land op aarde is.
