In 1969 a Canadian team calculated that its northernmost tip lies 750 metres (2,460 ft) farther north than Cape Morris Jesup, thus claiming its record as the most northerly point on land.
Since then, several gravel banks have been found to the north, most notably Oodaaq and 83-42, although there is debate as to whether such gravel banks should be considered for the record since they are rarely permanent, being regularly swallowed by the moving ice sheets, shifting, or becoming submerged in the ocean.
