Frederick E. Hyde Fjord
Introduction '''Frederick E. Hyde Fjord''' is a fjord in Peary Land, far northern Greenland.
History The fjord was named by Robert Peary during his 1900 expedition after Frederick Erastus Hyde, one of the founding members and first vice-president of the Peary Arctic Club in New York. Peary did not explore the fjord owing to thick fog. The inner fjord branches were mapped and named by Lauge Koch in the course of aerial surveys from the 1920s onwards.The landscape of this desolate fjord caused an impression on Danish Arctic explorer Eigil Knuth:
Geography To the east Frederick E. Hyde Fjord opens into the Arctic Ocean with its mouth just to the north of Cape John Flagler and south of Cape Bridgman. The fjord extends  in a WSW direction until the Harebugt at its head. The Nordpasset is a glacial valley that extends a further  in a WNW direction until the head of O.B. Boggild Fjord, part of the De Long Fjord complex.Freja Fjord, Thor Fjord and Odin Fjord are branches on the southern shore of the fjord, about ,  and  from its mouth respectively;  smaller Citronen Fjord lies about  from the mouth. Frigg Fjord is an offshoot on the northern shore located  from the mouth.The Roosevelt Range, the northernmost mountain range on earth, stretches from west to east on the northern side of the fjord along with its subranges. Hans Egede Land extends to the south of the fjord from its middle reaches to the mouth area.The  high Nordkrone plateau is located on the southern side of Frederick E. Hyde Fjord. Nordkrone has many glaciers and is intersected by deep ravines with steep sides. high Wistar Bjerg, one of the highest points in Peary Land, rises above the fjord between the Freya and Thor fjords at the edge of the plateau.File:Karte Nordostgrönland Koch 1911.png|1911 map of NE Greenland showing only a short stretch of the partly unexplored Frederick E.
