Mapping in the Isukasia area

Abstract

During the summer of 1981 mapping of the two geological map sheets Ivisartoq 64 V.2 N and Isukasia 65 V.2 S was begun, and mapping continued on the sheet Fiskefjord 64 V.1 N. The map areas are situated between 64°30/ and 65°30/ N (fig. 15). A tent base camp was established at the fjord Kangiussaq in the eastern part of the Godthåb area. Thirteen geological field teams and the glaciological station at Qamanarssup serrnia, 50 km to the south-east, were supplied from this base camp. A Jet Ranger helicopter from Heliswiss chartered through Greenlandair Charter and the GGU cutter J. F. Johnstrup provided transport to the teams. Field work will continue in the area in 1982.
