Scientists on an expedition to collect samples from an island, called Oodaq off the coast of Greenland, then believed to be the world's most northern island, discovered a new island that measures 30 x 50 meters and has a peak of 3 meters above the sea surface. The team wants it to be named Qeqertaq Avannarleq, which means "the northernmost island" in Greenlandic as it is thought to be the world's most northerly island as the islet lies at 83° 40' 59.1" North and 30° 41' 52.2" West.
