Cape Brewster (Danish: Kap Brewster) is a headland in the Greenland Sea, east Greenland, Sermersooq municipality.

Geography

Cape Brewster is the easternmost point of the jagged and mountainous Savoia Peninsula.[1]

It is located at the end of the southern side of the mouth of the Scoresby Sound, opposite Cape Tobin (Uunarteq).[2] The cape lies in the desolate and impressive area of the southern shore of the sound with steep dark basalt walls rising between 1000 and 2000 m (3,280-6,560 ft).[3]
