Liverpool Land

The peninsula is bounded by Scoresby Sund in the south, Carlsberg Fjord in the northwest, Kangerterajiva (Hurry Inlet) in the southwest, the Greenland Sea in the east, and Jameson Land in the west. It was named by William Scoresby, who thought that Hurry Inlet had a confluence with Carlsberg Fjord, separating Liverpool Land from Jameson Land. The fjord-rich peninsula is {{convert|125|km|mi|abbr=on}} long from Kap Greville in the north to Uunarteq ({{langx|da|Kap Tobin}}) in the south, up to {{convert|40|km|mi|abbr=on}} wide, and measures about {{convert|3000|km2|mi2|abbr=on}} in area. It is connected to Jameson Land over a length of {{convert|35|km|mi|abbr=on}}.

A large part of Liverpool Land is mountainous, the Didrik Pining Range and the Heywood Range are located in the peninsula.{{cite web|title=Catalogue of place names in northern East Greenland|publisher=Geological Survey of Denmark |url=

Warming Island is located approximately {{convert|700|m|ft|abbr=on}} off the northeastern tip of Liverpool Land. Storefjord indents the peninsula from the east about {{convert|25|km|mi|abbr=on}}, almost cutting it into two.

The southern coast of Liverpool Land is the location of the town of Ittoqqortoormiit and of the abandoned settlements of Itterajivit, and Uunarteq at the southernmost tip of Liverpool Land.
