Geological Results of Four Expeditions to Ubekendt Ejland, West Greenland
Outlines petrological discoveries made in 1938, 1939, 1950 and 1957 by British expeditions to this island in the Umanak Fjord region: an abundance of magnesia-and lime-rich intrusions and lavas; a central intrusive complex in the south where acid and basic magmas co-exist; and a suite of dykes, lava...
