Geography
Nyeboe Land is located to the northeast of Hall Land in the west, and southwest of Hendrik Island and west of Warming Land and the Steensby Glacier in the east. It is bounded to the north by the Lincoln Sea and to the east by Saint George Fjord. Newman Fjord (Newman Bay) marks the western limit of Nyeboe Land. To the south and southeast the peninsula is attached to the mainland and its ice cap. The Dreyer Firn is located in the southwest, near the Saint George Fjord's shore. There are three small bays in the northern shore, Repulse Harbour, Hand Bay and Frankfield Bay, from west to east.[https://maps.apps.pgc.umn.edu/id/375 Repulse Havn]
