Investigations on recent sediments in the Fiskenæsset region, southern West Greenland

Abstract

During the regional geological mapping centred on the base camp Midgård (see Kalsbeek, this report) sampling of recent sediments from lakes and fjords, as well as from the surface was undertaken by the author. The first month was spent sampling from five major fjords, Buksefjord, Sermilik, Grædefjord, Fiskenæsfjorden and Bjørnesund. In addition, the sediments in front of Frederikshåbs Isblink were inspected and sampled. During the second month samples were taken from some lakes within the drainage area of Fiskenæsfjorden and Grædefjord.
