Geography
Devil's Thumb is located in the central part of Kullorsuaq Island, an island in the northern part of Upernavik Archipelago, in Melville Bay, approximately 3 km (1.9 mi) to the north of the Kullorsuaq settlement.[1]
It is a familiar feature for Arctic navigators, similar to the Melville Monument further north, but bigger.[2]
