Field work in 1986 in the Fiskefjord area, southern West Greenland

Abstract

Field mapping of Archaean basement rocks for the Fiskefjord map sheet at the scale 1:100 000, initiated in 1980 (Garde & McGregor, 1982; Garde, 1984, 1986), was continued by four teams in June-August 1986. The authors worked along the outer coast and in the vicinity of Fiskefjord (fig. 1) supported by rubber dinghies and the GGU cutter J. F. Johnstrup. Mapping around the lake Quagssup taserssua and reconnaissance mapping on the northern parts of Bjørneøen and Storø was supported by a Bell Jet Ranger helicopter. V. R. McGregor continued his mapping at the south-western corner of the map sheet area for three weeks in August.
