The Pentamerus Range (Danish: Pentamerus Bjerge)[1] is a mountain range in far northwestern Greenland. Administratively this range is part of Avannaata municipality. The area of the range is uninhabited.[2]
This mountain chain was named after the Pentamerus fossils dating back to the Lower Silurian that have been found in it.[3]
