Actress is the highest mountain in the Lemon Range, Sermersooq municipality, eastern Greenland.[1]

It was climbed in the 1990s by Tom Chamberlain.[2]

Geography

This 2,514 m (8,248 ft) high peak rises at the northern end of the Lemon Range, just west of the Upper Frederiksborg Glacier.[1] It is a rocky peak with a vertical icy crevice running along its southern face.

Although it is the highest summit of the range, Actress is located inland and is not as conspicuous as the spectacular peak cluster of the Domkirkebjerget with its 2,458 m (8,064 ft) high "Cathedral". The latter is located further south in a more accessible area[3][4] and "Cathedral" was formerly confused with Actress, the true highest point of the Lemon Range.[5]
