Favre Bjerg
Favre Bjerg (Danish: Favres Bjerg)[2] is a mountain in eastern Greenland. Administratively it is part of the Northeast Greenland National Park.[3]
This peak was named at the time of Lauge Koch’s 1936–38 expedition after Swiss geologist Jean Alphonse Favre (1815–1890). The name was chosen by Heinrich Bütler (1893–1983), another Swiss geologist who worked for many years with Lauge Koch in his East Greenland expeditions.[1]
