Annoatok or Anoritooq, located at Шаблон:Coord,[1] was a small hunting station in Greenland on Smith Sound about Шаблон:Convert north of Etah. It is now abandoned.

History

Annoatok was used as a base by Frederick Cook during his Arctic expedition of 1908–09, when he claimed to have reached the North Pole.[2] The name Annoatok means "the wind-loved place".[3] According to a publication in 1997 it was the most northerly inhabited place on Earth at that time.[4] However, excavations carried out by Eric Holtved in Inuarfissuaq at 78.9° N in central Inglefield Land proved human settlement even farther north. Excavations during the years 2004 to 2005 gave evidence of an ancient settlement about 30 km farther north in Qaqaitsut at 79.2° N in Eastern Inglefield Land.[5]
