Wyckoff Positions
In crystallography, a Wyckoff position is any point in a set of points whose site symmetry groups (see below) are all conjugate subgroups one of another. Crystallography tables give the Wyckoff positions for different space groups. History The Wyckoff positions are named after Ralph Wyckoff, an American X-ray crystallographer who authored several books in the field. His 1922 book, The Analytical Expression of the Results of the Theory of Space Groups, contained tables with the positional coordinates, both general and special, permitted by the symmetry elements. This book was the forerunner of International Tables for X-ray Crystallography, which first appeared in 1935. Definition For any point in a unit cell, given by fractional coordinates, one can apply a symmetry operation to the point. In some cases it will move to new coordinates, while in other cases the point will remain unaffected. For example, reflecting across a mirror plane will switch all the points left and rig ...

Cape Wyckoff
Cape Clarence Wyckoff (), also known as Cape Wyckoff, is a broad headland in the Wandel Sea, Arctic Ocean, northernmost Greenland. Administratively it is part of the Northeast Greenland National Park. History In 1900 Peary explored the north coast of Greenland from Cape Washington in the west to a place he named Wyckoff Island in the east, on the way reaching Cape Morris Jesup, the northernmost point of mainland Greenland. Cape Wyckoff was visible in the distance and was named by Robert Peary after Clarence F. Wyckoff, one of the members of the Peary Arctic Club in New York. This headland was marked on Robert Peary's map of the eastern coast of North Greenland as guesswork, based on sighting of two headlands from Wyckoff Land, for the visibility was marred by fog.Spencer Apollonio, ''Lands That Hold One Spellbound: A Story of East Greenland,'' 2008 p. 101 Cape Clarence Wyckoff was finally charted with accuracy by J.P.

Wyckoff Land
Wyckoff Land is an area or peninsula in Peary Land, Northern Greenland. This geographic feature was named by Robert Peary after Clarence F.

He waited for two days for the fog to clear and then he returned. ''Pearys Vardenæs'' is a cairn built in 1900 by Peary before he returned towards the west. It stands in the outermost part of Wyckoff Land between Skaerbugt and Hellefisk Fjord. Two Independence I archaeological sites have been discovered on the headland.
