Pingos in Peary Land, North Greenland
Two finds in Peary Land therefore extend their distribution far northwards. The pingos were collapsed, they have presumably been of the open-system type, because they are situated in the bottom of valleys. It is concluded that pingos occur very rarely in northernmost Canada and Greenland
