The '''Denmark expedition''' () was an expedition to the northeast of [[Greenland]] in 1906–1908.
Led by [[Ludvig Mylius-Erichsen]], the expedition had the mission to [[Mapping|map]] the last blank sections of the coastline of northeastern Greenland, between [[Cape Bridgman]], [[Robert Peary]]'s easternmost geographic exploration in the north, and [[Cape Bismarck]], the northernmost point reached by [[Carl Koldewey]] in the east. It aimed as well to gather scientific data of the unexplored area during a period of two years.
Despite of the death in tragic circumstances of three of its leading members, the Denmark expedition succeeded in exploring the vast region, drawing accurate charts of formerly unexplored coastlines and [[fjord]]s and naming numerous features.<ref name="GN"></ref>
==History==
The expedition traveled to Greenland aboard the [[Danmark (ship)|Danmark]], reaching a sheltered place in southern [[Germania Land]] and establishing its main base there, [[Danmarkshavn]], which was named after the ship. <ref>[[Georg Carl Amdrup]], ''Report on the Danmark Expedition to the North-East Coast of Greenland 1906-1908".'' P. 65</ref>
Expedition members included a very large staff of Danish scientists, as well as West [[Greenlanders]].
