Littleton Island (Arctic)
- Littleton Island (Arctic)
Littleton Island (Greenlandic: "Pikiuleq") is an island approximately convert|1|km|mi|1|abbr=on from Greenland’s coast right in Smith Sound. It is about convert|300|km|mi|-1|abbr=on south of the island today called Hans Island. Around it and the coast of Greenland lay dozens of tiny Islands, and Kane names one of them Hans Island after Hans Hendrik, the native Greenlandic helper he had with him on the trip. That this is the current Littleton Island is testified by Kane mentioning Edward Augustus Inglefield, who indeed named Littleton Island.
