Cambrian-Silurian studies in Washington Land, western North Greenland

Abstract

The geological programme commenced in Washington Land during 1975 (Henriksen & Peel, 1976) was continued at an amplified level during July and August 1976 when parties from the Geodetic Institute and the Institute for Surveying and Photogrammetry, Technical University of Denmark, joined three groups from GGU in a combined operation. The natural landing strip at the eastem extremity of Cass Fjord (fig. 10) again served as a base camp, but parties worked throughout Washington Land with supportfrom a Greenlandair Charter Bell 204 helicopter periodically travelling north from Thule Air Base.
