To the west it is limited by the Weyprecht Fjord, and to the south by the O.B. Bøggild Fjord and the Nordpasset, beyond which lies the Hans Tausen Ice Cap. The westernmost headland is Cape Holger Danske.[3][1]

Amundsen Land is mountainous with many glaciated areas. The highest point is a Шаблон:Convert summit in the central part of the peninsula.[4]
