Bradley-Land

Bradley Country is the name of a phantom island in the Arctic Ocean. The polar explorer Frederick Cook stated on his North Pole expedition in 1909 north of Greenland between 84 ° 20'N, 102 ° 0 ' W84.333333333333 -102 and 85 ° 11' N, 102 ° 0 ' W85.183333333333 -102 two larger to have spotted land masses, which are possibly connected. He named it after his sponsor John R. Bradley.

Cook published two photos of Bradley Land. Today it is known that there is no land at the specified position. Possible confusion with the Axel Heiberg Island, what a significant navigation errors presupposes or a misinterpretation of aufgetürmtem ice. Two Inuit who accompanied Cook gave to later, the photographs in question had arisen in the vicinity of Axel Heiberg Island.
