The British North Greenland Expedition had its main base camp in Britannia Lake, Queen Louise Land.[1] It was led by Commander James Simpson RN. The station recorded a temperature of −66.1 °C (−87.0 °F) on 9 January 1954, which made it the lowest temperature ever recorded in North America up until that time. It was superseded by an observation of −69.6 °C (−93.3 °F) at the Greenland Ice Sheet on 22 December 1991.[2][3] The name of the station contrasts to the former British South Ice station in Antarctica.
