The Tertiary basalts of Scoresby Sund, a preliminary report

Abstract

During the summer of 1968 the Tertiary basalts of Scoresby Sund were examined at five localities (see fig. 3. The stars mark the position of the sections examined). Sections covering 1800 m of the upper part of the basalt succession were examined from sea level at Sydbræ to 1800 m altitude on the southern side of Milne Land. The uppermost basalt flows above 1800 m occurring on Milne Land were not reached.
