ethnic groups =Store Koldewey is an island in Northeast
Greenland . It is the largest of the "Koldewey Islands". The island was visited by the SecondGerman North Polar Expedition 1869–70, led by "Carl Koldewey" and referred to as "grosse Koldewey Insel" in the astronomy section of the expedition report, but this may not have intended as a formal name. The present island was shown on Koldewey’s maps as three islands. However, theDanmark Expedition 1906–08 showed them to be connected and coined the present name.
