Abstract

In connection with GGU's expedition to the Peary Land region, North Greenland, in 1979 and 1980, I had the opportunity to carry out some field work on the Quaternary geology of the Vølvedal area, and to collect a peat section (83°02'N, 34°21'W; fig. 4). Remains of Alona guttata and Calcarius lapponicus, which do not live in Peary Land today were found.
