Davisodden is a headland in Nathorst Land at Spitsbergen, Svalbard. It is named after American geomorphologist William Morris Davis. The headland is located at the northern side of Van Keulenfjorden, and is a river delta made by the river flowing through Davisdalen. [1] Davisdalen extends from the mountain ridge of Mjellegga down to Davisodden. [2] Its river is fed from several glaciers, including Martinbreen and Charpentierbreen. [3] [4]
The headland was formerly called Kapp Dunér, and was renamed to avoid confusion with Kapp Dunér at the island of Bjørnøya. [1]
