The Haug Range (Danish: Hauge Bjerge)[1] is a mountain range in far northwestern Greenland. Administratively this range is part of Avannaata municipality. The range is located in Hall Land, one of the coldest places in Greenland.[2]
This mountain chain was named after Ivar Haug, who compiled the first Gazetteer of Greenland. The area of the range is characterized by Tundra climate.[3]
