Geological investigations of Prinsesse Ingeborg Halvø, eastern North Greenland

Abstract

Station Nord in Kronprins Christian Land has been the gateway to North Greenland for most geologists since the 1950s, yet little is actually known about the geology of Prinsesse Ingeborg Halvø, the low, barren stretch of land which surrounds the station. A major objective of the Ingeborg Expedition in July and August 1988 was to fill this gap by folIowing up work initiated during the GGU expedition in 1980 (Håkansson et al., 1981).
