Nordenskiöld or Nordenskjöld?

The Nordenskiöld Bjerg Subgroup takes its name from Nordenskiöld Bjerg in Canning Land, East Greenland, but the mountain takes its name not from A. E. Nordenskiöld or his son G. E. A. Nordenskiöld, but from Otto Nordenskjöld. All were Swedish scientists, commemorated by place names in Greenland. The features named after them, however, have been variously spelt due to uncertainty as to which of them was being honoured, and also variations in orthographic practice.
