Abstract

This paper presents a report on the first systematic mapping in the northem half of the Wandel Sea Basin carried out in 1978. Due to unfavourable weather conditions along the north-east coast of Peary Land, only 20 days of actual fieldwork were achieved. The Wandel Sea Basin comprises a series of Carboniferous to Paleocene rocks in eastern North Greenland (Dawes & Soper, 1973). Previous visits to the northem part of the basin have been very brief (Koch, 1929a; Troelsen, 1950, 1956; Håkansson & Heinberg, 1977) and only in the southern part is the basin known in any detail (Dawes, 1976).
