Abstract

The coast between Kangerdlugssuaq (68°15'N) and Kangerdlugssuatsiaq (66°05'N) was mapped from the 80 ton cutter Tycho Brahe using 16 ft inflatable rubber dinghies in August 1977 (Bridgwater et al., 1978). The coast was exceptionally clear of sea ice and it was possibie to visit several localities which have not been accessibie by sea since Wager's journey in 1930 (Wager, 1934). The region consists of Archaean gneisses intruded by Tertiary plutonic complexes and dense swarms of basic dykes intruded in an en echelon pattern parallel to the coast (figs 1 & 30).
