A team of Arctic researchers from Denmark say they     1     (accident) discovered     2     they believe is the world’s northernmost island.

At first, the scientists from the University of Copenhagen thought they had arrived at Oodaaq,     3     island discovered in 1978. They arrived, instead, on an undiscovered island farther north. Morten Rasch was the group’s leader. “We     4     (convince) that the island we were standing on was Oodaaq,     5     until then was registered as the world’s northernmost island,” he said. In a statement, Rasch explained, “When I posted photos of the island and its coordinates (坐标) on social media, a number of American island hunters went crazy and said that it couldn’t be true.”

The yet-to-be-named island is 780 meters north of Oodaaq, an island off Cape Morris Jesup, the northernmost point of Greenland and one of the most northerly     6     (point) of land on Earth.

The island was discovered as a result of     7     (move) ice. It is about 30 by 60 meters     8     size and     9     (rise) to about three to four meters above sea level, the university said. The research team reportedly does not consider the discovery     10     (be) a result of climate change.

Rasch said the island has small, raised areas of soil and rocks. He said it may be the result of a major storm that, with the help of the sea, slowly pushed material from the seabed together until an island formed. The island is not expected to exist a long time, Danish researchers believe.
