Geological reconnaissance of the Greenland Shield in Melville Bugt, North-West Greenland

Abstract

Geological reconnaissance mapping of the Thule - Melville Bugt region (75°15/N to 78°15/N) was completed in summer 1980 with the extension of the field work along the Lauge Koch Kyst in central and southern Melville Bugt (fig. 5). The work was concentrated in the region east of Kap Edvard Holm southwards down to Steenstrup Gletscher, the southern boundary of the 1:500000 map sheet. The mapping was a continuation of the 1978 field work during which the area between Kap York and Fisher Øer was eovered (Dawes, 1979).
