Iron-bearing and related volcanic rocks in the area between Gieseckes Dal and Hammers Dal, north-west Disko

Abstract

This paper reports the results of about three weeks investigations in the summer of 1974 in the area between Gieseckes Dal and Hammers Dal, north-west Disko. The area was previously poorly known. Short accounts are given by Münther (1952, 1973), who discovered two volcanic necks with native iron bearing rocks south of Gieseckes Dal. Henderson (1973) has made photogeological work, and V. Münther has compiled an unpublished map of the region. The area is poorly exposed so that the photogeological compilation ofthe area on the geological map sheet 70 V. 1 S, Qutdligssat is incomplete.
