Abstract

As part of the GGU programme for the regional mapping of the hydroelectric potential of West Greenland, glaciological, glacier-hydrological and climatological investigations were carried out at three local ice caps near latitude 66° in West Greenland. Two of the ice caps, Sukkertoppen ice cap and 'Amitsuloq ice cap', contribute to the runoff from the Tasersiaq basin (fig. 41) while the third, Qapiarfiup sermia, drains into a smaller basin east of Sukkertoppen. Investigations in the Tasersiaq basin were started by GGU in August 1981 (Olesen, 1982) while glaciological measurements at Qapiarfiup serrnia were started in March 1981.
